1. JAMAICA STRONG – AIESHA BARRETT

Aiesha Barrett’s “Jamaica Strong,” credited to NO LABEL, appears at the top of the Reggae Vibes extract and is shown twice in the source file, suggesting editorial emphasis. The fragment also includes adjacent UI text “lw 15 | woc 15” and the inline placeholder “Sleeve,” which indicate the track’s last-week and weeks-on-chart metadata were present in the original chart file even if the full layout is truncated in the supplied text.

2. CAAH BELIEVE – CHEZIDEK

“Caah Believe” by Chezidek is listed with TAD$ RECORD as the credit and chart metadata lw 21 | woc 3, signaling a recent re-entry or late climb with three weeks on chart. The source places “Sleeve” directly after the metadata, preserving the original presentation cues from Reggae Vibes.

3. SPECIAL LADY – RICHIE STEPHENS

Richie Stephens’ “Special Lady” carries POT OF GOLD PRODUCTION and explicit chart markers lw 17 | woc 25 | 2 wks @ #1, which track a long run: 25 weeks on the chart and two weeks occupying the top spot previously. The “Sleeve” label follows the metadata in the fragment, consistent with the site’s formatting.

4. WORD’S NOT ENOUGH – IWAATA

Iwaata’s “Word’s Not Enough” is credited to CRASHWEH PLAY MUSIC/REDBOOM SUPAMIX/SMX MUSIQ with lw 23 | woc 2, indicating it is a fresh arrival that is starting to register across the metrics. The listing also contains “Sleeve,” preserving the original inline placeholder from Reggae Vibes.

5. FOREVER GRATEFUL – KEZNAMDI FEAT. MASICKA

Keznamdi featuring Masicka shows IRIE ITES RECORDS and reads lw 20 | woc 28 | 2 wks @ #1 in the fragment, a signal that the song has sustained presence and previously reached the summit for two weeks. The entry includes “Sleeve,” matching the pattern used throughout the Reggae Vibes extract.

6. EMOTIONS – J’CALM & NIGY BOY

“Emotions,” by J’Calm and Nigy Boy, lists K-LICIOUS MUSIC & DUBSHOT MUSIC with lw 25 | woc 2, marking it as another recent chart entrant. Immediately after this line in the supplied fragment appears a stray track line, illustrating that the source file contains additional standalone entries mixed into the listing.

7. Hezron & Beenie Man - Ain't Too Proud To Beg

This line appears as a standalone entry in the fragment without accompanying label or chart metadata, so its presence is recorded but its official position and credits are not provided in the supplied material. Treat this as an item flagged in the Reggae Vibes extract that requires verification with the original chart for placement and label details.

8. JAH NAME – SAMORY I & ZION I KINGS

“Jah Name,” credited to ZION HIGH PRODUCTIONS, is explicitly shown as “– | new” in the fragment, marking it as a new entry on the March 6–12 compilation. The inline “Sleeve” placeholder follows, preserving the Reggae Vibes formatting and signaling this is a fresh arrival worth watching.

9. DANCEHALL NICE – SHAGGY, BERES HAMMOND & DEXTA DAPS

Reggae Vibes lists “DANCEHALL NICE” by Shaggy with Beres Hammond and Dexta Daps under DUTTY ROCK PRODUCTIONS and metadata lw 1 | woc 10 | 1 wk @ #1. That explicit metadata contradicts the user-provided headline claim that the track “debuts” this week; according to the fragment it was already on the chart (last week position 1) and has logged 10 weeks on chart and one week at #1. This contradiction is preserved here and flagged for verification against the full Info‑Jamaica/Reggae Vibes posting.

10. FAMILY FIRST – CHRONIXX

Chronixx’s “Family First” shows FOREVER LIVING ORIGINALS with lw 4 | woc 9, indicating steady presence and a recent top-five placement last week. The fragment includes “Sleeve,” retaining the source’s original display element.

11. IN OUR SIGHT – SKIP MARLEY

Skip Marley’s “In Our Sight” carries TUFF GONG INTERNATIONAL/DEF JAM RECORDINGS with lw 3 | woc 14 | 3 wks @ #1, marking it as a multi-week chart topper in its run and a significant radio and retail mover. The “3 wks @ #1” flag highlights the track’s sustained dominance during the period captured in the dataset.

12. UPLIFTMENT – BUGLE, AGENT SASCO & DERRICK SOUND

“Upliftment” is credited to EVIDENCE MUSIC and appears with lw 7 | woc 8, a sign of consistent mid-chart traction in its eighth week on the listing. The inline “Sleeve” is present in the fragment and preserved in this report.

13. MONTEGO BAY – SHUGA

Shuga’s “Montego Bay,” listed under PENTHOUSE RECORDS, is shown lw 8 | woc 8, a symmetrical eight-week run that suggests sustained playlisting and audience interest. The Reggae Vibes fragment attaches “Sleeve” to this entry as well.

14. TRAPPED – RICHIE STEPHENS

Richie Stephens appears a second time with “Trapped,” credited simply to POT OF GOLD and metadata lw 9 | woc 7, confirming multiple Richie Stephens singles remain active on the chart simultaneously. The fragment’s formatting omits the “Sleeve” placeholder immediately after this line but retains the label credit.

15. TIME FOR ME – SHENSEEA

Shenseea’s “Time For Me” lists COLUMBIA RECORDS/’93 RECORDS with lw 10 | woc 6, denoting a solid six-week run under a major-label partnership. The entry also includes the inline “Sleeve” marker in the supplied extract.

16. WHERE DO I FIT IN – KASHIEF LINDO

Kashief Lindo’s “Where Do I Fit In” on HEAVY BEAT RECORDS reads lw 5 | woc 23 | 1 wk @ #1, showing long-term chart durability with a previous week at the summit. The fragment preserves the “Sleeve” tag next to the listing.

17. FINALLY – ROMAIN VIRGO

“Finally” by Romain Virgo appears with IN.DIGG.NATION COLLECTIVE/INEFFABLE RECORDS (duplicated in the fragment) and metadata lw 6 | woc 19 | 2 wks @ #1, a testament to a strong multi-week presence and two weeks spent at #1 historically. The duplicated credit lines in the source are preserved here to reflect the original file’s state.

18. BUSY SIGNAL – THE DAYS

Busy Signal’s “The Days,” credited to ZION HIGH PRODUCTIONS, lists lw 11 | woc 18 | 2 wks @ #1, showing an 18-week run and a two-week peak at the top position during its chart life. The fragment includes “Sleeve” after the metadata, consistent with other entries.

19. TIME – KEZNAMDI

“Time” by Keznamdi, from KEZNAMDI MUSIC GROUP, carries lw 14 | woc 5 in the fragment, indicating it is a five-week performer working its way through the mid-chart range. The listing includes the inline “Sleeve” placeholder.

20. HOLDING ON – HEZRON

Hezron’s “Holding On,” credited to TAD’S RECORD, shows lw 13 | woc 19, a near twenty-week presence that highlights endurance on the Jamaican reggae singles chart. The fragment includes “Sleeve” next to this entry.

21. SWEET LOVING AND AFFECTION – GLEN WASHINGTON

Glen Washington’s “Sweet Loving and Affection” appears with TAD$ RECORDS and metadata lw 16 | woc 6, showing a six-week run and continued catalog traction. Immediately after this line in the supplied fragment is another standalone track line, underscoring that the source includes intermittent, unlabelled entries.

22. D'Angel & Khago - Personal

This item is present as a standalone line without label credit or chart metadata in the fragment; it therefore appears in the Reggae Vibes extract but lacks the usual chart context. Its inclusion should be verified with the original chart for exact position and label details.

23. ON MY WAY BACK HOME – COLLIE BUDDZ & SEAN PAUL

“On My Way Back Home,” credited to INEFFABLE RECORDS and listed lw 18 | woc 4, shows Collie Buddz and Sean Paul partnering on a shorter, four-week run on this chart. The fragment retains the inline “Sleeve” after its metadata.

24. HOLY FATHER – SOUL-REBEL MARLEY

Soul‑Rebel Marley’s “Holy Father,” on TUFF GONG INTERNATIONAL, is shown lw 12 | woc 16, indicating a steady 16-week presence on the listing and continued rotation at radio and sound systems. The “Sleeve” placeholder follows the metadata in the fragment.

25. MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS – HOPETON LINDO & ANTHONY MALVO

Hopeton Lindo and Anthony Malvo close the supplied Top 25 extract with “Mental Health Awareness,” credited to IRIE PEN RECORDS and annotated lw 19 | woc 5, a five-week chart appearance that rounds out this snapshot of Jamaican reggae momentum. Taken together with the rest of the list, the fragment paints a chart that mixes long-term holdovers, repeat #1 tracks, and several newer entries marked “new” or lacking full metadata.

Note on the Protoje/Damian “At W” entry and headline claims The Info‑Jamaica summary in the supplied research begins: “What happened: Info‑Jamaica published the weekly JA Reggae Top 25 singles chart for March 6–12, 2026 (a Reggae Vibes compilation), revealing current radio, sound‑system and retail momentum in Jamaica’s reggae singles market. The March 7, 2026 piece lists Protoje feat. Damian “JR Gong” Marley’s “At W”” — that song title is truncated in the supplied notes and no placement or full title appears in the Reggae Vibes fragment. Because the fragment also records “DANCEHALL NICE – SHAGGY, BERES HAMMOND & DEXTA DAPS” with lw 1 | woc 10 | 1 wk @ #1, there is an explicit contradiction between the user-provided headline claiming Shaggy “debuts” and the Reggae Vibes metadata. Those points are preserved verbatim in this report and should be verified against the full Info‑Jamaica/Reggae Vibes posting for confirmation of Protoje’s full entry and the debut status of Shaggy’s track.

Final note This list matches the full set of entries and raw fragments supplied from the Reggae Vibes extract for March 6–12, 2026 and preserves every label credit, lw and woc metadata, and inline placeholder such as “Sleeve” where present; unresolved items include the truncated Protoje/Damian title and the contradiction over whether “Dancehall Nice” is a debut, both of which require the original Info‑Jamaica/Reggae Vibes page for verification.
