Top 50 Reggae Songs in 2015
Top 50 Reggae Songs in 2015
Rising hopefuls like Koro Fyah, Shuga, Mortimer, Sevana Siren and Earthkry, but also long-time veterans, such as Luciano, Inner Circle, Burro Banton, Cornell Campbell and Sizzla.
The second top list for 2015 collects best songs, and just as last year the second half of the year was way stronger than the first six months. And when I wrote the half-year report in July I had difficulties finding enough highlights. But from July and onwards there have been a steady stream of solid singles, remixes and one riddim compilation cuts. This means that some of the songs included in the half-year report were pushed out due to fierce competition.
The list contains rising hopefuls like Koro Fyah, Shuga, Mortimer, Sevana Siren and Earthkry, but also long-time veterans, such as Luciano, Inner Circle, Burro Banton, Cornell Campbell and Sizzla. And most artists are from Jamaica.
During the year I have also noted that major labels have taken interest in reggae and at least three of the cuts are released directly via Sony, Atlantic and Universal. Some probably also have distribution via a major label or at least some kind of affiliation. That’s a good sign for coming years and I hope it’s not just a fluke.
The list below is as usual presented in no particular order and the songs included are only singles or tracks taken from compilations.
