STONEBWOY\u2019s \u201c5Th Dimension\u201d album hits a new Billboard world reggae chart peak this week.<\/p>\n

This week, the 17-track album debuts at No. 8 on the Billboard World Reggae Album chart, making it the first Ghanaian album to score this success on the reggae charts. The album was ranked \u201cbased on multi-metric consumption blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming (audio and video) equivalent albums,\u201d according to Billboard.<\/p>\n

This new feat adds to a list of notable Billboard appearances scored by the Ghanaian reggae, dancehall, and afrobeat singer, which includes a Billboard World Album Chart appearance with his 2017\u2019s Epistles Of Mama (EOM) album, as well as a Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart appearance for \u201cNominate\u201d, his 2020 lead single off \u201cAnloga Junction\u201d album. He is also the recipient of three billboard achievement plaques for his features on Collie Buddz\u2019s \u201cHybrid Album\u201d and Sizzla Kalonji\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Yours\u201d. The two albums ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on the Billboard charts.<\/p>\n

Already, the album\u2019s lead single \u201cLife & Money\u201d, which features UK rapper Stormzy, claimed the No. 14 spot on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart Top 20 songs this week based on sales and streams since its release.<\/p>\n

\u201c5th Dimension\u201d is Stonebwoy\u2019s 5th career album and his first in three years after the release of Anloga Junction in 2020. The 17-track album incorporates Afrobeats, reggae, dancehall, amapiano, folk, and other genres while leaning primarily toward pop and pop-related themes. The project also boasts features from Nigeria\u2019s Davido, Oxlade, Tiwa Savage, Beninese legend Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo, and South African amapiano progenitor DJ Maphorisa. Others include Shaggy (Jamaica), Dexta Daps (Jamaica), Mereba (US), and Jaz Karis (UK).<\/p>\n
