A quadruple spin from Bob

Bob Marley and the Wailers log four titles inside the Billboard Reggae Album chart. Leading the pack at number one for the 168th non-consecutive week is Legend.

Catch a Fire, a 1973 release by Island Records re-enters the chart at number six. This album was ranked number 140 on Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums list in 2020.

Exodus, a UK-platinum certified and US-gold certified release, re-enters the chart at number nine. Notably, Exodus, which was released in 1977, has racked up gold certifications in Italy, Canada, France and Germany.

Rastaman Vibration re-enters at number 10. Incidentally, this 1976 release became the first album by Bob Marley and the Wailers to reach the top 10 of the all-genre Billboard 200 Albums chart, when it peaked at number eight, some 47 years ago.

Over in the Cayman Islands, Hot 104.1 FM is reporting that Rasta by Valiant is the most requested song for the week.

Rastaman Vibration has been certified gold in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

And still on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy remains at number two, while Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul is also firm at three.

Wisdom by Stick Figure is four, while Greatest Hits by UB40 is stationary at five.

World on Fire and Set in Stone by Stick Figure are seven and eight.

Over in the Cayman Islands, Hot 104.1 FM is reporting that Rasta by Valiant is the most requested song for the week. Don’t Run by Shaggy and Skinny Fabulous is at number two, while Aint That Loving You by Kelly Shane and Busy Signal is at three. Like Yuh Self by Morgan Heritage is four and Pieces by Masicka and Jahshii is five.

Moving now to the New York Reggae chart, Young Gyal Business (remix) by Chaka Demus and Pliers with Renner clocks a third week at number one.

Roll by Julian Marley bolts from 14 to 11.

Loving You Always by Sleepy Wonder (number 28) and Driver by Romain Virgo (number 29) are this week’s new entries.

Stepping now into the South Florida Reggae chart, Sometimes When We Touch by King Banton holds onto the number one spot.

Highway to Heaven by Carlene Davis cruises from eight to six and Media Dolly (number 23) and Driver by Romain Virgo (number 25) are new entries.

Jermaine Edwards continues to make moves on the Billboard Afrobeats and Gospel song charts with Beautiful Day. On US Afrobeats Songs chart, the song is steady at number 30 after peaking at number 18. It spends its seventh week on the chart.

Over on the Gospel Digital Song Sales chart, Beautiful Day backtracks from eight to 10 having risen to number two.

And, finally, on the Hot Gospel Songs chart, Beautiful Day slides down one place from 10 to 11.

Fix it before you speed it up — choosing the first thing to automate, and the data work that comes first
Every week this column shows what AI can do for a finance team. This week, the order of operations. Most small businesses automate the part customers can see and leave the part the money runs through untouched, which is roughly backwards.
