Uprsisng moves on to Billboard Reggae Albums chart

Some 45 years after it was released, Uprising, the final studio album by Bob Marley and the Wailers, has entered the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.

The set, which credits Island Records boss Chris Blackwell as executive producer, debuts at #9.

Upon its release in 1980, Uprising entered and peaked at #45 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart and #41 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

Uprising also found success outside of the United States. It peaked at #46 in Australia, #6 in Austria and Norway, #1 in New Zealand, #3 in Sweden, and #6 in the United Kingdom.

Just last Friday, Redemption Song, the final track featured on Uprising, was certified platinum in the United Kingdom.

Forever Loving Jah was previously certified gold in New Zealand, and the disco-inspired Could You Be Loved (which charted on Billboard’s R&B Singles and Disco charts) has been certified 2x platinum in the UK, gold in Brazil and Germany, 7x platinum in New Zealand, and platinum in Denmark, Portugal, Italy and Spain.

Uprising, which features musicians including Aston “Family Man” Barrett, Carlton “Santa” Davis, Tyrone Downie, Alvin Patterson, among others, has racked up several certifications through the years including gold in the United States and the United Kingdom, 2x platinum in France, and platinum in New Zealand.

And still on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Marley and the Wailers continue to lead the pack at the top of the chart with Legend clocking 286 non-consecutive weeks.

Shaggy’s Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection is back on the chart at #2, while World on Fire by Stick Figure, Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul, and Wisdom by Stick Figure are #3, #4 and #5 respectively.

Greatest Hits by UB40 is down to #6, Set in Stone by Stick Figure remains at #7, so too Sean Paul’s
Dutty Rock at #8.

Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers slips to #10.

Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix by Moliy, Silent Addy, Skillibeng, and Shenseea continues its onslaught on the Billboard charts, while making downward movements on the Global charts.

On Global 200, the song remains at #11 after peaking at #6, while slithering down from #9 to #11 on Global Excluding US, where it got as far as 35.

Over on Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100 chart, it falls from its peak of #24 to #28 in its 11th week on the chart, while on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, it remains at #44 on its seventh week.

On Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs, the song holds firm at #10 for a third-consecutive week, while on R&B/Hip Hop Streaming Songs it bullets from #14 to #10. It inches up from #11 to #9 on R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, while staying put at #4 on R&B/Hip Hop Digital Song Sales.

Shake it to the Max (Fly) bolts from #10 to #8 on both Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Top 40 Airplay.

Til a Mawnin by Shaggy featuring Sting, which debuted at #40 last week, flies five spots to #35 on Rhythmic Top 40 Airplay.

On regional reggae charts, Changes by Jamaican Zantelly takes over the #1 spot on the Rebel Vibez Top Ten Canadian Reggae chart, while Glen Washington enters at #10 with Evil Alters.

Songs of Zion by Carlene Davis spends a second week at #1 on the New York Reggae chart, while Fallen For You by Dinho Da Rastaman inches up from #4 to #3.

Bring It On Home by Keith Cole steps up from #12 to #9, A Woman’s Touch by Richie Stephens is new at #28, so too is Jamaica Love by Moja Morgan at #29.

What If (Side an) by Shuga is crowned the new #1 on the South Florida Reggae chart, while I’d Love You to Want Me by Tony Roy glides from #13 to #10. Better Than Before by Glen Washington rises from #15 to #13, and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Nikesha Lindo enters at #24.
