editorial
Welcome to a new edition of the Global Reggae Charts and a happy new year to all of you! To start
the new year appropriately, this month’s edition comes with a major update of the charts. We are
introducing a new, frequently requested category: Riddim Charts. But that’s not all. We also
looked at 2017 data to compile annual charts for the past year. As it certainly was a rich reggae
year, expect to find plenty of great music.
Let me give you a bit more background on both topics. The riddim culture is a unique and important
aspect of reggae and dancehall. As such, it makes a lot of sense to reflect it in our charts. Why,
then, didn’t we implement it right from the start? Simply, we wanted to make sure that our voter
pool is large enough and contains enough people who are knowledgeable on the subject.
The reality is that the shift to digital music somewhat hurt the relevance of riddims.
When songs were distributed on physical media, the riddim compilation was a mainstay in any
reggae fan’s collection. But digital music distribution unbundled the album. All of a sudden, single
songs were a lot easier to buy and access, so more fans started to buy songs instead of LPs. While
that didn’t stop people from producing great riddims nor artists from voicing them, the casual
reggae fan’s awareness of specific riddims certainly dropped compared to the glory days of the
(Greensleeves) one-riddim compilation CD. Nevertheless, the riddim remains an important aspect
of reggae culture. Thus, we are happy that the Global Reggae Charts now have an appropriate
stage to feature them on.
A few words on the annual charts, too. The GRCs are based on expert votes. Thus, we took the
entire votes of last year and, using the identical geographic weighting we use in the regular charts,
produced a list of all votes a song or album received over the entire period our data covers. As you
can see, we kept it simple. It is important to mention, though, that we only launched the charts in
May. So the annual charts don’t cover the period from January to April, which means they aren’t
reflective of the entire year. But since 66% of a year worth of data is certainly better than 0% and
because several people asked for it, we decided to release the annual data nonetheless.
A second interesting effect of our chosen methodology is that some releases who never appeared
in our Top 10 or 20 made it into the annual charts. Those releases barely didn’t make it on to the
charts for several months, but, over time, accumulated more votes than other releases that made
the charts once. So you could say that the annual charts are particularly friendly to releases with
staying power. Which, in our opinion, is a neat side-effect of our chosen approach.
Nuff said. Now have fun digging into this packed edition of the GRC!
Cheers
Thomas

ARTIST FEATURE
One storyline in reggae these days is that many artists
opt to only release their debut album once they
have built a significant profile. Think Chronixx, think
Samory I. The most recent member of the we-released-our-debut-LP-when-we-already-were-superstarsin-reggae-club
is Jesse Royal. When the 28-year old
released his Lily of da Valley album in October 2017
(it has topped the Global Reggae Charts for three
straight months since!), he already had a bunch of
genre superhits and plenty of experience as a touring
musician under his belt.
You might argue that Royal took his first steps in music
under a lucky star: he went to school with Daniel
Marley, son of Ziggy Marley, and launched his first
musical experiments with him. When you just start
out in reggae and your first collaborator is an heir of
Bob Marley, at the very least you have a good story
to tell your own grandchildren one day. But in Royal’s
case, of course, that was only the beginning.
Thanks to another friend (and important collaborator
to this day), Kareem “Remus” Burrell, he got in touch
with another Reggae and Dancehall legend: Kareem’s
father, the late Phillip “Fatis” Burrell, head of the
famous Xterminator label. He produced several of
Royal’s first released songs like Singing The Blues or
Bittersweet before he passed away.
If you are now under the impression that Royal has
a knack for finding talented people to work with, you
are correct. Whether on the musical or the business
side, Jesse Royal is apparently drawing the attention
of gifted individuals. That in itself, combined with his
willingness to actually team-up with them, should be
considered as a major strength. Working with other
creative personalities - who usually have strong artistic
opinions themselves - doesn’t come naturally to
all artists. It’s a process that comes with discussion,
head-butting, and compromise. While the results in
many cases benefit from joint inspiration, the path to
get there isn’t necessarily convenient.
But look throughout Royal’s history, and you’ll find
that he has sought talented collaborators over and
over again. For his third mixtape Royally Speaking,
a major career milestone, he worked with Major
Lazer’s Walshy Fire - and delivered a release that
global reggae charts | issue 9 / jan 2018 8

featured artist
was critically appraised all over the globe. (Though
it should be noted that the mixtape was recorded
in merely a day; presumably it was a rather smooth
process in that case.) For Lily of da Valley, Royal worked
intensely with Llamar “Riff Raff” Brown.
Brown is one of the most prolific producers in modern
reggae, having credits on works with artists
like Damian Marley, T.O.K., and Morgan Heritage. He
was also heavily involved as a producer and musician
in Raging Fyah’s Grammy-nominated album
Everlasting. Little wonder that, in a recent interview
with Gibbo, Royal described the making of his album
as a constant back and forth between him and Riff
Raff. But while many artists, particularly early in their
careers, would be annoyed by such a process, Royal
has a different perspective:
“We overstand each other but we are two very creative
individuals. And for me that [back and forth] is
necessary for the climate. We both have to want the
best out of this.”
Working on your debut album with such artistic maturity
is certainly one of the benefits that comes with
not rushing things or, as I formerly called it, the Slow
Music approach.
In the background, Royal assembled a top-notch
team as well. His album appeared on Easy Star Records.
The New York-based label is a major player in
what they call progressive reggae. Easy Star’s global
artist line-up includes, among others, Gentleman’s
Dub Club, New Kingston, The Skints, and of course
the famous Easy Star All-Stars of Dub Side of the
Moon fame. In a reggae label landscape which has
become very fragmented - as many artists build
their own, independent infrastructure; some more,
some less successfully - Easy Star is one of the few
remaining bigger reggae-centric players with a great,
professional reputation. While hidden from plain
sight for most fans, it’s a factor that matters when it
comes to success.
The same goes for management and marketing. And
Royal is well-positioned there as well: his manager
is Lukes Morgan, a member of Morgan Heritage and
the manager of Raging Fyah. And his marketing is taken
care of by Cristy Barber, herself a reggae industry
savant. Not only is Barber a (Grammy-winning)
producer, but she is also the former President of Tuff
Gong and Vice President of Marketing & Promotion
at VP. Last but not least Team Royal has the aforementioned
Kareem “Remus” Burrell, Royal’s good
friend from school who now heads his own production
company XTM.Nation and who still works closely
with Royal.
Adding it all together, it’s fair to say that Royal managed
to gather an impressive roster around him.
It contains all the ingredients you need to succeed:
talent, experience, great connections, and professionalism.
This doesn’t happen by accident. It takes
talent, dedication, and maturity to build a roster like
this. Royal has proven that he brings those attributes
to the table. Now that he has assembled his team, it
provides a solid foundation for his future career.
When asked in interviews why it took so long to release
his debut album, Royal regularly responds that
it’s not about when we want things to happen but
rather to let nature take its course until the time is
ripe. Because, as he says, everything happens in its
perfect time. Apparently Royal figured the time was
perfect now. Judging by his current team, it’s a very
reasonable bet to make.
