Sister Nancy makes Billboard Reggae Albums chart début

For the first time in her decades-long career, veteran deejay Sister Nancy makes her début on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, thanks to her 1982 album One, Two, which enters at #3.

One, Two was re-released on vinyl (3,000 copies) on Record Store Day (April 14) via VPAL/VP Records.

The album features the hit singles One, Two; Transport Connection; and Bam Bam.

One, Two, which also débuts at #4 on the UK Official Independent Album Breakers chart, was recorded at Channel One Studios on Maxfield Avenue. It was produced by Winston Riley of Techniques Records and features musicians including Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Errol “Flabba” Holt, Carlton “Santa” Davis, Lincoln “Style” Scott, Wycliffe “Steely” Johnson, Christopher “Sky Juice” Blake, and Dean Fraser.

Also new on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart is Greatest Hits by Peter Tosh, which makes its entry at #8. This, too, is another Record Store Day release and it was issued by Parlophone/Rhino Records. It was first released in 1987.

This is Tosh’s seventh entry on the Billboard chart. His previous entries are Live at the One Love Peace Concert (#12 in 2000), Honorary Citizen (#5 in 1997), Scrolls of the Prophet: The Best of Peter Tosh (#4 in 2000), Super Hits (#7 in 2002), Live and Dangerous: Boston 1976 (#4 in 2023), and Complete Captured Live (#2 in 2022).

Greatest Hits spans Tosh’s complete Parlophone catalogue and it includes the hit songs Johnny B Goode, Bush Doctor, Mystic Man, and Wanted Dread & Alive.

Elsewhere on the chart, Bob Marley and the Wailers log 275 non-consecutive weeks at #1 with Legend, while Hot Shot by Shaggy re-enters at #2.

Sean Paul’s The Trinity jumps back in at #4, World on Fire by Stick Figure backtracks to #5, and Greatest Hits by UB40 falls to #6.

Dutty Rock by Sean Paul is down to #7, while Set in Stone and Wisdom by Stick Figure are #9 and #10.

Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix by Moliy, featuring Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea moves closer to the #1 spot on Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart, as it rises to #3 in its eighth week on the tally.

The song débuts at #85 in Ireland on the Irish Top 100 Singles chart, while entering the New Zealand Top 40 at #35. The song moves up from #97 to #58 in its second week on the Dutch Top 100, and it takes over the #1 spot on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart. Over on the UK Singles chart, Shake it to the Max rises from #44 to #35 in its third week on the chart.

Moving now to the New York Reggae chart, Shaggy and Sting’s Til a Mawnin spends a 6th week at #1, while Love Again by Tarrus Riley bolts from #12 to #8.

Fields of Gold, a Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1993 for Sting, has been given a reggae interpretation by veteran reggae band Third World, and this version flies from #13 to #9.

God is the Greatest by Vybz Kartel enters at #19, while Praise the Lord by Richie Stephens débuts at #29, and I’d Love You to Want Me by Tony Roy starts at #30.

I’d Love You to Want Me was first recorded by American singer Lobo in 1972 and it spent two weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Incidentally, it was kept out of the #1 spot by Johnny Nash’s reggae flavoured song I Can See Clearly Now.

Over on the South Florida Reggae chart, Til a Mawnin clocks a third week at #1, while Praise You by Terry Linen steps up from #5 to #4.

A Little Love by Kelly Shane, daughter of singer Tanya Stephens, improves from #22 to #19, while What If by Shuga is up to #21.

New entries are Back it Up by Peter G (at #23) and God is the Greatest by Vybz Kartel at #25.
