Vybz Kartel is celebrating a new milestone for his King of the Dancehall album, which achieved 100 million streams on Spotify this month.
According to Urban Islandz Kartel’s management team confirmed to the latest streaming numbers for the album, which was released in 2016 and went on to spawn some of the biggest commercial hits of Kartel’s career.
“Vybz Kartel is the biggest [and] most influential artiste of the first 23 years of the new millennium. No one can deny that. The body of work known as King of the Dancehall is just one of a plethora of reasons why this is so,” his oldest son, Jaheim Palmer said.
The album, which has credits to dancehall maestros, Dunwell and Linton White, featured 15 tracks with hits like “Coloring This Life,” “Fever,” “Western Union,” and “Which Friend,” among others.
Kartel’s album numbers are not surprising as the artiste continues to be the highest streamed despite being incarcerated for a murder conviction he is presently appealing.
