Jamaica Music Countdown April 27-May 3, 2012 by Richie B

In an interesting twist, Gentleman with Diversity tops reggae albums this week. In second place is Singing Melody with her They Call Me Mr Melody ahead of Ziggy Marley and his album Wild and Free C-Sharpe band’s The Invitation falls one step again to 5th place behind Mental Maintenance by Koshens, but ahead of Mr Vegas with Sweet Jamaica. Shaggy struggles to hold 6th jumping just a tad from last week’s 7th place with his Summer in Kingston. Sophia Brown Catch Me If You Can settles at 10th place as a newcomer.

On the Reggae Singles charts, Tonight Is The Night – Sophia Brown is down to number 2. She falls behind Silver Words by Robert Minott feat. Kirk Kbz in Number 1.
The dancehall singles is topped with Mr Vegas ‘Bruk It Dung’ which was number 2 last week. See more on charts.
