YG Marley’s debut single “Praise Jah In The Moonlight” didn’t come out soft, it hit the music market hard to be a debut record with a hot record. The new Marley debut track is running wild as the first Reggae song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart in seven years and its simultaneous entry into other much-envied music charts brings the Marley family’s reggae reign back on recent top chart conversations across the world.
With this feat, YG Marley then becomes the sixth member of the Marley family to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart. On the prior Marley family Billboard Hot 100 chart record, Bob Marley & The Wailers made the maiden entry in 1976 with “Roots, Rock, Reggae”. The second Marley was Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, followed by KyMani Marley as the third charter, Damian Marley as the fourth charter, Skip Marley as the fifth charter.
YG Marley’s “Praise Jah In The Moonlight” entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 10, 2024. It took the 74th spot on the chart. It brought a big joy to the Marely family as the feat happened during Bob Marley’s birthday celebration.
It is no surprise to see a first music scene timer YG Marley riding the global music wave like a hot wild fire, because he comes from a family with a huge deep global music success. He is the son of Lauryn Hill [the female member of the American HipHop R&B trio Refugees] and the grandson of Bob Marley, the Reggae King. YG Marley’s father is Rohan Marley, Bob Marely’s fourth son.
“Praise Jah In The Moonlight” is a multi-chart track. Aside its Billboard Hot 100 chart entry, It is currently peaking at number 20 on the UK Official Singles chart, at number 33 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart, and at number 1 on the Billboard New Zealand Songs chart.
Then Again, “Praise Jah In The Moonlight” has also debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.
The song has over 36 million plays on Spotify since its release on December 27, 2023. The official audio on YouTube has 5.5 million views and counting. It has been incorporated into tiktok fan videos over 2 million times. On Facebook and Instagram, it is running so loud in viral use by YG’s first foundation fans and existing fans of the Marley family. Quickly, the young charismatic lad has inherited his fore generations’ myriad of fans, giving him a fast huge fan-base of several nationalities.
Lauryn Hill and YG performed the track live on stage during Jo Mersa’s birhtday tribute concert in Jamaica in March. The live reveal of the track triggered a huge anticipation across the world, then again Rohan Marley’s consistent use of it in his Instagram posts and the massive use by fans across social media platforms also keep on pushing more and more people to stream the track.
YG Marley co-wrote and co-composed with “Praise Jah In The Moonlight” Lauryn Hill. Listenig to the track keenly, one hears vocal hints of Lauryn Hil’s nasal style of singing in YG’s delivery all through the track.
“Praise Jah In The Moonlight” has earned very positive reviews by world renowned music pundits., so far.
