Tattwu Design’s ‘Narcissism’ knocks Bob Marley from No 1 on Germany’s iTunes Reggae Chart

Dancehall artiste Tattwu Design is on an emotional and creative high this week. The artiste’s Narcissism hit single knocked Bob Marley from No 1 on Germany’s iTunes Reggae Chart earlier this week.

“It’s a great feeling. I am on cloud nine right now. I have been doing this music for years, working on my craft, and when I started getting the reports of the chart activity, I was just overjoyed… this moment means a lot to me,” Tattwu Design said.

The single is distributed by VP Records.

The Jamaican dancehall artiste and fashion designer briefly displaced Marley at No 1 on Germany’s iTunes Reggae chart, while the single reached No 43 on the country’s all-genre chart. In the Cayman Islands, Narcissism entered the iTunes Reggae chart at No 3 before climbing to No 1. It also reached No 193 on the worldwide iTunes Top 200.

The chart run follows a second life for Thank God, a song Tattwu Design recorded in 2022 after a TikTok freestyle turned into an impromptu recording session.

“I started playing this riddim and it’s like the beat kept saying ‘Thank God, thank God, the wicked dem see mi alive …’ and the person who I went live with recommended that I record it, and I did it right there and then,” Tattwu Design recalled.

Four years later, TikTok users picked up the audio for dance clips and paired it with the caption “2026 the wicked dem see mi alive.”

Tattwu Design credits DJs and mixtape creators with backing the track and says he’s grateful it inspired other artists to tackle faith, redemption, and spiritual struggle in their own music.

His career stretches back to an early break at Anchor Music Studio around 1998. Since then, he’s shown collections at Caribbean Fashion Week and released singles including Plan Up and Ex Never Know, along with his 2022 EP Music Sarcasm.
