13-y-o Jazmin Headley’s collab tops Canadian chart

...Richie Stephens, Bounty Killer featured

Thirteen-year-old Canadian-born Jazmin Headley, whose parents are from St Elizabeth, has topped the Reggae North Canada Top 20 Reggae and Dancehall chart with the inspirational The Fire Inside.

The song features Richie Stephens and Bounty Killer (Rodney Price).

“The Fire Inside was inspired by observations of everyday life… It was also inspired by personal experiences, the will to motivate others, and encouraging my peers,” Jazmin told the Jamaica Observer on Tuesday.

She disclosed that she has been surprised about the level of popularity the track has gained within the Jamaican Diaspora in Canada.

“Thanks to Reggae North Radio for always promoting the song,” she said.

“Collaborating with Richie and Rodney was beautiful as always. Rodney started my music career at age nine when we did a song together. He has been a very effective figure in my music career and he’s one of the most influential persons and treats me with love and respect. He’s family, that’s how I see him,” Jazmin disclosed.

The artiste also spoke fondly about working alongside Richie Stephens.

“Uncle Richie is amusing, very positive, and he encourages me to do great, to focus, and is just amazing family,” she said.

Headley presently resides in Toronto, Canada, and attends school in Mississauga and is in the 9th grade.

Elsewhere on the Reggae North Canada Top 20 Reggae and Dancehall chart, How Sweet It Is by Jah Cutta remains at #2, while Rescue Me by Sone G falls from #1 to #3. Show Us The Way by Tasha T, Mel Dube, and Kandie Kash is at #4; and Wheel and Come Again by Skystar inches into the #5 spot.

Over on the New York Reggae chart, Your Grace and Mercy by George Nooks takes over the #1 spot, with A Painful Birth (A Mother’s Cry) by Aaron Silk stepping up from #6 to #4.

Conscious Vibes by Busy Signal moves from #11 to #9, Feel So Alive by Maxi Priest and Sean Paul climbs from #13 to #10, and Niceness by Nadine Sutherland enters at #26.

Mental Health Awareness by Hopeton Lindo and Anthony Malvo takes over the #1 spot on the South Florida Reggae chart.

A Chance on Love by Leroy Sibbles rises from #10 to #7, while Shaggy’s Boom Body — featuring Akon and Aidonia — bolts from #13 to #10.

Moving over to the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers continues its dominance for 316 non-consecutive weeks.

Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy remains at #2 with Sean Paul’s Dutty Classics Collection at #3.

A reconstructed house version of Sister Nancy’s Bam Bam by producers Hugel and Solto inches up from #5 to #4 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart. It peaked at #2 and it has been on the chart for 12 weeks.

Shaggy’s Boom Body steps up from #36 to #32 in its second week on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart.
