Vybz Kartel earns fourth Billboard song entry on Travis Scott’s PBT

King of the Dancehall Vybz Kartel earned his fourth Billboard charting song with PBT, a collaboration with American rapper and singer Travis Scott and South African singer Tyla.

PBT moved up from #23 to #18 on this week’s Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart. It has been on the tally since it debuted at #38 on the chart dated August 16, 2025.

Vybz Kartel’s previous Billboard song entries were Pon De Floor with Major Lazer, which peaked at #41 on Billboard’s Dance Digital Song Sales chart in 2010; Ramping Shop with Spice which topped out at #76 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart; and Fever, a certified gold hit that stalled at #36 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Airplay and #23 on Rap Airplay charts.

TBA is featured on the 17-track Jackboys 2 compilation album, which was released on July 13 via Cactus Jack Records and Epic Records. Other artistes featured on the compilation include Future, Playboi Carti, NBA Young Boy, Glo Rilla, 21 Savage, and Bun B.

Jackboys 2 topped the Billboard 200 albums chart with first week sales of 232,000 album equivalent units.

Still on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart, Ginger by Sean Paul remains at #14, while Sugar Sweet by Mariah Carey featuring Shenseea and Kehlani inches down to #32.

The song continues its downward trend on Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, where it steps down from #17 to #18, and on R&B/Hip- Hop Airplay it backtracks from #24 to #26.

Moving now to the streaming and sales-driven Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Bumpin Uglies debut at #7 with
Crawling Up the Wall.

Released on September 19 via Ugly Records, the 14 track Crawling Up the Wall consists of ska music. This is the sixth entry for the group, which topped the chart in 2018 with Beast from the East.

The group’s other entries include Buzz (EP), which peaked at #2 in 2019; Keep it Together, which rose to #3 in 2016; and Better Faster Stronger, which topped out at #2 in 2016.

Elsewhere on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Bob Marley and the Wailers have logged 298 non-consecutive weeks at #1 with Legend, while Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection is steady at #2.

The Trinity by Sean Paul, which is officially 20 years old, is at #3, while World on Fire by Stick Figure and
Greatest Hits by UB40 are #4 and #5.

Dutty Rock by Sean Paul holds the #6 position, Wisdom and Set in Stone by Stick Figure are #8 and #9.

Damian Marley’s Welcome to Jamrock is #10.

On regional charts, 2 Time by Khago spends a third week at #1, while Where Do I Fit In by Kashief Lindo steps up from #11 to #10.

New entries are Special Lady by Richie Stephens (#22), Single Mothers by D’Angel (#23), and a cover of
To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before by Leroy Sibbles and Andrew Cassanova.

On the New York Reggae chart, How Dem Fi Fight Reggae Music by Sizzla and Bounty Killer remains at #1 for a third week, while Khago’s 2 Time debuts at #25, and Where Could I Go (But to the Lord) by Derrick Scott is at #28.
