Shaggy’s Hotshots (MCA) which completely transcended the reggae charts and charted 84 weeks on Billboard 200 and peaked at number 1. The charts still gave insight into top albums of the decade due to the size of the North American market and its influence on global sales.ġ. Also missing from the top 25 was Kevin Lyttle’s gold-selling, self-titled album and Elephant Man’s Good 2 Go which ranked 27 and 28, respectively. One caveat was that Billboard did not reflect the Jamaican pop charts, as such some breakthrough albums did not make the cut, including Vybz Kartel’s Up 2 Di Time, Baby Cham’s Ghetto Story, Lee Scratch Perry’s 2002 Grammy winning album Jamaican ET, Richie Spice’s Spice in Your Life and I-Wayne’s Lava Ground. Chart longevity indicated that the albums were not only popular but had that timeless quality as sales continued well beyond their release dates. Music rankings are always controversial but Splash arrived at the findings, not by public opinion, but by analysing Billboard Reggae Album charts between 2000 to 2009 and ranked albums in order of weeks charted. Shaggy, Sean Paul, Sizzla, Beenie Man, UB40 and Damian Marley each made the list twice. Matisyahu was second, but he also made the top 25 three times. Topping the list was Shaggy’s 2000 release Hot Shots which sold over ten million copies and was amongst the most sucessful albums of the decade. The top 25 reggae albums for this decade - which ends December - was dominated by Shaggy but other dancehall artistes ranked highly, according to a list compiled by Splash.
