Spice new album Emancipated debut at No. 7 on the Billboard Reggae chart this week.
The Queen of dancehall Spice is showing she has what it takes to be an independent artist after she earned her fourth entry on the streaming and sales-driven Billboard Reggae Albums chart.
Spice continued her ascendancy in the genre with her second full-length album, Emancipated.
This included 700 pure album sales and 1.1 million combined audio and video streams in the United States.
It’s a strong showing for the “Go Down Deh” singer, and it’s a step up from her debut 10, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 last year.

That was her final project for her previous label, VP Records, and it only sold 1,447 total units, which included both singles and albums.
Emancipated was released on August 26 via Stealth Music/Spice Official ENT and features nine tracks. She is no stranger to the chart, and in 2014 her So Mi Like it EP came in at No. 14, while her mixtape Captured debuted at number one in 2018.
Meanwhile, on the US Current Reggae Albums chart, the album debuted at number one with 653 in pure album sales.
