Bob Marley’s music has been enjoying a resurgence lately, thanks to a biopic made about the musician. Bob Marley: One Love was not a critical favorite, but it has performed incredibly well at the box office all around the world since its release earlier this year. The star’s catalog has been surging in consumption ever since the movie dropped, and his presence on one Billboard chart shows how popular some of his albums still are after many years.
On this week’s Reggae Albums chart, Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths in the U.S. that can be classified as reggae, Marley—along with his band The Wailers—fills more than his fair share of spaces. The beloved figure occupies three spots, or nearly one-third of the entire tally, which only includes 10 rungs.
As is almost always the case, Marley’s Legend sits at No. 1. The greatest hits compilation has ruled the ranking essentially since it was introduced years ago. Of the 219 weeks that Legend has appeared on the Reggae Albums list, it’s spent all but one of those in first place.
It’s not unusual that Marley is in charge of the Reggae Albums chart. What is notable this time around is the two titles from the late superstar that find their way back to the ranking.
Exodus returns to the Reggae Albums chart at No. 9. The set, which also ranks among his bestselling and one of the most important reggae releases in history, once climbed to No. 3 on this tally. It has now spent a total of 63 turns on the ranking.
Just one spot below Exodus comes another one of Marley’s top sellers. Rastaman Vibration is back on the Reggae Albums chart at No. 10. It has only lived on the tally for five weeks, or about a month–though those are definitely not consecutive. The title has risen as high as No. 4 in the past.
Marley is not the only artist to fill three spaces on the Reggae Albums chart this week. Fellow reggae favorites Stick Figure also own the same number of rungs. Sean Paul isn’t far behind, as he appears in two spots this time around.
