Jamaican (Bam Bam), a dance/house/Afrobeat remix of Sister Nancy’s classic Bam Bam

Meanwhile, on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart it inches up from #5 to #4 after peaking at #2 more than 7 months ago.

Still on the Billboard charts, Drake’s steam has cooled down, with many of the songs that debuted on last week’s charts, making their departure. The song Ran to Atlanta, featuring Future and Molly Santana, co-produced by Jamaica’s Mxssivh, slips from #2 to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100; from #8 to #46 on Global Excluding US; and from #2 to #11 on Global 200.

Shaggy and Robin Thicke’s Looking Lovely steps up from #32 to #30 on Rhythmic Airplay, and Shenseea’s collaboration with Daddy Yankee, Echo (FIFA World Cup 2026) is up two places to #34.

Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole’s (When You Gonna) Give it Up to Me receives a new lease on life, as it bullets from #111 to #87 on Billboard’s Global 200, and moving from #67 to #54 on Global Excluding US.

Over on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Bob Marley and the Wailers add another week to their stay at the #1 spot as Legend clocks 333 non-consecutive weeks. Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy inches up to #2, Sean Paul’s The Trinity re-enters at #3, World on Fire by Stick Figure remains at #4,

Dutty Rock by Sean Paul improves at #6, Wisdom by Stick Figure #7, while Set in Stone by Stick Figure, Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Sharky Belly Motel by The Elovaters are #8, 9 and 10 respectively.

Now onto regional charts, So Long by Neto Yuth and Anthony B spends its second week at #1 on the Reggae North Canadian Top 20 Reggae and Dancehall chart.

Chant by Paris Ivy is steady at #2, Cucumba by Tugstar climbs to #3, Student of a Broken Heart by Exco Levi is #4, and Reggae Music Nice by Legato inches up to #5.
