T-Drive's Fly Away hits number two on Island Gold chart

T-Drive has turned Fly Away into a real radio breakthrough, with the single climbing to No. 2 on the Island Gold Radio Top 10 Reggae Chart in West Palm Beach for the week of May 1. For a Jamaican recording artiste trying to move beyond local buzz, that kind of placement is more than a nice number. It signals that the song is finding ears in a market that still matters deeply to reggae.

The milestone carries extra weight because T-Drive is identified as Trevor Hewitt, and the achievement is being framed as the result of years of hard work and dedication. That makes Fly Away feel less like a one-off chart run and more like a career marker, the kind of climb that tells listeners, programmers, and promoters that the record has momentum behind it.

Island Gold Radio’s own identity helps explain why this placement lands with such force. The station describes itself as delivering non-stop reggae, dancehall, and island hits, while keeping the island’s rhythm alive for listeners around the world. Based in the West Palm Beach area, it sits in a South Florida corridor where reggae still travels through airwaves, Caribbean communities, and longtime fan networks. A strong showing there can carry meaning well beyond the city limits, especially for an artist looking to deepen his footprint in the United States.

That is why No. 2 on this chart reads like a springboard. Radio placements in reggae still feed discovery, and a move like this can lead to more spins, more interviews, stronger digital traffic, and better booking conversations. It also places T-Drive inside a wider chart ecosystem that continues to track reggae’s weekly movement, from Jamaica’s own singles rankings to radio-driven lists built on airplay and audience response.

For Fly Away, the West Palm Beach result gives the song a clear new lane. For T-Drive, it marks the kind of breakthrough that can turn steady work into a bigger U.S. push, with South Florida acting as the next proving ground.
