Buju remains on Billboard

Buju remains on Billboard

Buju Banton’s Too Too Bad spends a second week on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, falling from its #8 debut last week to #10.

Too Too Bad, released via Gargamel Music/VP Records, is Buju’s 13th entry on the Billboard chart and his first title to not make the Top 5, since Toppa Di Top & Dirty Rhythms topped out at #7 in May 2006.

Too Too Bad features collaborations with Gramps Morgan, Ari Lennox, and DJ Khaled.

Still on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Bob Marley and the Wailers remain in the #1 spot for 342nd non-consecutive weeks with Legend, while Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection is firm at #2.

The Trinity by Sean Paul re-enters at#3, World on Fire by Stick Figure stays put at #4, and Sean Paul’s Grammy-winning Dutty Rock inches up to #5.

Stick Figure has back-to-back entries, Wisdom at #6 and Set in Stone climbs three places to #7.

Exodus by Bob Marley & the Wailers inches up to #8, while Live in St Augustine by Rebelution revisits the chart at #9.

Jamaican (Bam Bam), credited to producers HUGEL and SOLTO, continues to make gains on multiple global charts. First, it flies from #67 to #45 on the UK Singles chart. The song which is a house/dance/Afrobeats reincarnation of Sister Nancy’s 1982 hit Bam Bam, earns its highest placement on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, as it climbs from #11 to land at #7 in its 26th week on the chart. However, on Billboard’s Warm Global Dance Radio chart, it backtracks from #11 to #15, having peaked at #4.

Over on Billboard’s Global 200 chart, the song dances from #42 to #36 in its 17th week, while stepping up from #20 to #13 on Billboard’s Global Excluding US chart.

 

Cheap Thrills and (When You Gonna) Give it Up to Me are #111 and #89 respectively on Global Excluding US chart.

Spin, by Kevin Ross, which is produced by Jamaican Kheilstone, loses steam on the urban charts. On Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, the song tumbles from #22 to #32, but it fares better on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay, slipping from #6 to #9, where it peaked at #5.

PONGO by producer Rvssian, Rauw Alejandro, and Wizkid continues its downward trajectory on the Billboard Latin charts. It falls from #43 to #49 on Hot Latin Songs, having peaked at #19, while on Latin Airplay, it dips from #43 to #44 in its 11th week. On Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, PONGO slides down from #17 to #19, and on Latin Rhythm Airplay remains at #12.

Moving now to regional charts, Shine by JUNO award winner Elaine Shepherd takes over the #1 spot on the Rebel Vibez Top Ten Canadian Reggae chart. Ten Foot Wall by Tasha T moves into the #1 spot, with Set Me Free by Memberz Syndicate and Rise Up by Belinda Brady holding down the #3 and #4 positions. Worldwide (Dubfare) by Lory Fury and Dub Chronicles is #5.

Reggae Music Nice by Legato spends a second week at the top of the Reggae North Canadian Top 20 Reggae and Dancehall chart, while Rise Up by Belinda Brady is steady at #2.

Ten Foot Wall by Tasha T inches up to #3, Blaze it by I-Noah steps up to #4, and Just Try by Tonya P creeps to #5.

Bad Gal Time by Razor B enters at #20.

Ting Loud by Protoje and Masicka takes over the #1 spot on the Florida Reggae and Dancehall Top 20 Radio Singles chart, as reported by The Voice of the Caribbean. Slip N Slide by Masicka falls to #2, with Stephen Marley’s Hills of St Ann firm at #3.

Moving up three places to #4 is Vybz Kartel’s Dancehall Ting and Buju Banton’s former chart-topper Butterflies at #5.
