Albums by Koffee, Shenseea and Stick Figure that were released in 2022 have made the year-end Billboard Reggae Albums chart. The remaining albums on the Top 15 list are older titles.
‘Gifted’ by Koffee, which was released in March and which peaked at number two on the weekly chart, is the eighth best-selling reggae album in America for the year.
Shenseea’s ‘Alpha’, her major label debut for Rich Immigrants/Interscope Records, was released March 11 and soared to number two. It rests at number 12 on the year-end tally.

The Billboard Year-End charts were released Thursday and the final positions are culled from the weekly charts, based on streaming equivalent album units and sales in the United States, as reported by Luminate.
Bob Marley and the Wailers are number one for a third year running with ‘Legend’.
