editorial<br />
With the summer solstice having just passed, the longest days of the year are ideal for squeezing<br />
in a few more reggae tunes. Compiling choice selections by discerning radio hosts from around<br />
the globe, here’s the latest issue of <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Reggae</strong> <strong>Charts</strong> magazine!<br />
Jahcoustix, by virtue of his album Reunion, appears on the cover. The eighth album from the German<br />
artist – known for blending reggae with acoustic music – currently holds the third spot on the<br />
charts.<br />
Otherwise, Koffee’s Rapture EP maintains its grip on the top spot, while #2 is a nice debut by Inna<br />
De Yard. Sly and Robbie are at #4, for The Final Battle with Roots Radics, with Beres Hammond<br />
wrapping up the initial five albums. Jah9’s Feelings continues to shine at #7, just ahead of the veteran<br />
Lt Stitchie’s Masterclass. Previous cover artist King Mas rebounds a bit to #11, and two spots<br />
behind there’s Shy FX with a pleasant surprise: Raggamuffin SoundTape. Noteworthy for sure:<br />
Alborosie’s Unbreakable: Alborosie Meets The Wailers United has nearly done the distance, still<br />
hanging on at #18 after eleven months! Finally, there are debuts from Sizzla and Akae Beka tying<br />
for twentieth – it will be interesting to see how far those rise in the coming months.<br />
Practically expected, Koffee is atop the single charts as well for “Toast,” while “Throne” is third. In<br />
between is “Guess Who” – Tarrus Riley; Randy Valentine’s collab with Eesah and Runkus, “Blessed,”<br />
enters at #4, followed by Jah9 for “Heaven (Ready Fi Di Feeling).” Further down, there’s Hempress<br />
Sativa at #7, and then Alborosie & Chronixx with “Contradiction” at #8, celebrating a full year on<br />
the charts. Much of the remaining tunes are fresh work from established artists, including the latest<br />
from Protoje, Skip Marley, Jah Cure, Buju Banton, and Jesse Royal, as well as legends Keith and<br />
Tex with their latest “<strong>Global</strong> Politics.”<br />
Plenty of changes on the riddim side, with nothing remaining from last month’s charts. New riddims<br />
are the General A General Riddim (Frankie) sits at #1, the Lioness Order Riddim (Oneness)<br />
is at #2, and the Tenement Yard <strong>2019</strong> Riddim (Crossfire Sound) appears at #5. The Sweep It Out<br />
Riddim (149) and the Lion Pride Riddim: Reloaded (Upsetta) both return to the charts, at #3 and #4<br />
respectively.<br />
Hope all’s well, and that the bass lines are mighty,<br />
Peace from Colorado, USA<br />

Jahcoustix<br />
Known for his entrancing blend of reggae and acoustic<br />
music, Germany’s Jahcoustix appears at #3 on this<br />
month’s album charts. The strong debut showing by<br />
Reunion is especially relevant given the lack of a charting<br />
single, which reverifies the potential of well-presented<br />
reggae full-lengths even in the digital era. Built around<br />
productions by Oneness, Reunion seems to be a look back<br />
as much as a look forward, a vibe obviously appreciated<br />
by our voters!<br />
