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.
