BILLBOARD RASTA MUSIC IS NO COMPETITION WATCH IT FROM YAH SO THERE IS REASONS FOR WHAT IS BEING SAID HERE,THAT WE ALL KNOW WHY THIS IS SO. REGGAE MUSIC IS BIGGER THAN MONEY, CHARTS AND MOVING UNITS. RASTAMAN VIBRATION POSITIVE. A WAH DEM UP TO JAH. BIG UP MIDNITE AND DI REST A REBELS. BILLBOARD This year [veteran British-Jamaican/Caribbean band] Steel Pulse played prior to SOJA and Ziggy Marley performed before Rebelution; some traditional reggae lovers gave us heat about that, but if youre talking about hard ticket sales, the American acts far outsell the Jamaican acts, says Sheehan. American reggae artists also sell more records than their Jamaican counterparts. Five American reggae acts occupy the top 10 positions on the Reggae Album chart for the week ending September 13. SOJAs Amid The Noise and Haste has held the top slot for three weeks, moving a total of 16,083 units, according to Nielsen Soundscan; at No. 3, Rebelutions Count Me In (Easy Star/87 Music) has moved 33,049 units in 12 weeks, surpassing Ziggy Marleys Fly Rasta 14,720 units after 20 weeks. The remaining slots belong to various compilations featuring Jamaican/non-Jamaican acts and soca artist Bunji Garlins Differentology (RCA/VP Records). Jamaicas most-buzzed-about-artist Chronixx whose Dread and Terrible Project (Chronixx Music) is at No. 12 has sold just 6,104 copies after 21 weeks on the chart.
