Chris Brown, Vybz Kartel collab makes two Billboard charts

Dancehall king Vybz Kartel has earned his second entry on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart thanks to his collaboration with R&B singer Chris Brown, titled ** and Party.

The song, which is among the tracks from Brown’s self-titled album BROWN, debuts at #39 on the chart. It is Kartel’s first time on this particular Billboard chart, since Kartel and Spice’s Ramping Shop topped out at #76 in 2009.

The collaboration also debuted at #22 on Billboard’s R&B Songs chart.

In the meantime, BROWN charts at #7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart, #3 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, #19 on Top Album Sales and #4 on Top Streaming Albums charts.

The last time that Vybz Kartel charted on any Billboard chart was in December 2025, when PBT by Travis Scott, Tyla and Vybz Kartel peaked at #5 on Rhythmic Airplay.
