Kartel’s collab with Major Lazer hits Germany’s Urban R&B/Hip-Hop chart

About 15 years ago, Major Lazer released its debut album Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do. The project featured several Jamaican acts, including Mr Vegas, Jovi Rockwell, TOK, Mr Evil, Turbulence, Ricky Blaze, Busy Signal, Miss Thing, Supa Hype, Leftside, among others.

One of the breakout tracks from the project was the Billboard-charting Pon De Floor, a club banger featuring Vybz Kartel.

Major Lazer will commemorate the 15th anniversary of the release of its debut album with a deluxe reissue on November 15. It will feature remastered tracks and four bonus songs, three of which were previously unreleased.

Nobody Move, which features Vybz Kartel, was released on October 11 via Mad Decent/Because Music/Virgin/Universal. The track debuts at #20 on Germany’s Urban R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Nobody Move pays homage to Yellowman’s 1983 hit song Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt, which was produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes.

Still on Germany’s Urban chart, Shenseea’s Work Me Out featuring Wizkid rises from #37 to #29 in its 9th week on the chart. It previously peaked at #19.

Moving now to the Billboard urban charts, Work Me Out inches up from #41 to #40 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, while backtracking from #24 to #27 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.

Over on Rhythmic Top 40, it tumbles from #33 to #36 in its 9th week on the chart.

Meanwhile, Akon’s Beautiful Day by Akon, which samples gospel artiste Jermaine Edwards’s It’s a Beautiful Day, steps up from #31 to #24.

Santa, by producer Rvssian, featuring Rauw Alejandro and Ayra Starr, continues to lose steam as it drops to #37 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay. It finds better luck on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay as it descends from #9 to #12, after peaking at #6.

On Billboard’s Reggae Albums chart, three albums re-enter: Endless Summer by The Elovaters arrives at #7. This album had previously peaked at #3. Labour of Love, a 1983 album of covers by British band UB40 hops back onto the chart at #8. The album, which has been certified 2x platinum in the UK, platinum in the United States, New Zealand and in the Netherlands, features covers of Jimmy Cliff’s Many Rivers to Cross, Eric Donaldson’s Cherry Oh Baby and Red Red Wine.

The band’s 2008 hits collection Greatest Hits, which culled hits from their first 11 studio albums, revisits the chart at #9.

Bob Marley and the Wailers holds a tight grip on the #1 spot with Legend clocking 250 non-consecutive weeks in the hot seat.

Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul inches up to #2, Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy dips to #3, and World on Fire, Set in Stone and Wisdom by Stick Figure are #4, #5 and #6.

Damian “Jr Gong” Marley’s Welcome to Jamrock falls to #10.

Let’s now take a look at regional charts, as Pick Up The Pieces by Steele continues to dominate the #1 spot on the Rebel Vibez Top Ten Canadian Reggae chart. Meanwhile,
Smile by Jamaican Michael St George moves into the #2 spot, and Reggae Music Still Deh Ya by Legato is #3. Karma by Skystar is at #5, and How Long by Blk Orchid moves into the #5 spot. The sole new entry, It’s Not Easy by June Smith, arrives at #10.

Singer D Major’s remake of the 1985 #1 R&B hit Caravan of Love by Isley-Jasper-Isley takes over the #1 spot on the Foundation Radio Network (New York) Reggae chart for a second week.

The sole new entry is Mek Wi Dance by Marcia Griffiths, which arrives at #27.

Feeling Irie by Glen Washington is crowned the new champ at the top of the South Florida Reggae chart, with Hello Jesus by Derrick Scott debuting at #23.
