The King of Dancehall is still running the game, even from behind bars. Vybz Kartel has officially earned his fourth Billboard entry, this time with a global link-up that’s shaking the charts.
The track “PBT”, a collab with Travis Scott and South Africa’s rising star Tyla, just jumped from #23 to #18 on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay Chart. It’s been holding steady since it debuted at #38 back in August — and it’s only climbing higher.
For those keeping score, Kartel’s Billboard résumé is already stacked:
“Pon De Floor” with Major Lazer (2010) – Dance Digital Songs (#41)
“Ramping Shop” with Spice – Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs (#76)
“Fever” – Certified Gold + Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Airplay (#36)
Now with “PBT,” he’s proving — once again — that Dancehall is global, and Kartel’s name still rings heavy in the mix.
The single lives on Jackboys 2, Travis Scott’s star-packed compilation featuring Future, Playboi Carti, NBA Young Boy, Glo Rilla, 21 Savage, and more. The album debuted straight at #1 on the Billboard 200 with over 232,000 units sold first week.
But wait — Kartel’s not the only Caribbean name blazing the Billboard this week:
Sean Paul’s “Ginger” is steady at #14 on Rhythmic Airplay.
Mariah Carey x Shenseea x Kehlani’s “Sugar Sweet” is still hanging on at #32.
On the Reggae Albums Chart, Bob Marley’s Legend continues its insane run at #1 for 298 weeks (yes, nearly 300!). Shaggy, UB40, Stick Figure, Damian Marley, and of course Sean Paul’s The Trinity are also holding strong in the Top 10.
And on the NY Reggae Chart? Sizzla and Bounty Killer’s “How Dem Fi Fight Reggae Music” is holding #1 for the third week straight. Khago’s “2 Time” is bubbling, and Derrick Scott’s gospel-reggae “Where Could I Go” just entered at #28.
Bottom line? Dancehall and reggae aren’t just alive — they’re running things internationally. And Kartel, love him or hate him, continues to prove why he’s called the World Boss.
From Kingston to Houston to Johannesburg — the vibes are global.
