Jamaican producer Kemar McGregor is once again at the center of music industry discussions after securing a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on the iTunes Reggae Albums chart with his Kiss of Judas Riddim project. While supporters have celebrated the achievement, the accomplishment has also attracted criticism and sparked heated debate across social media platforms.
Much of the conversation stems from the fact that McGregor’s project continues to hold the top position ahead of some of reggae’s biggest names. Currently sitting at No. 2 is Vybz Kartel’s God & Time album, while projects connected to reggae legend Bob Marley remain among the chart’s strongest performers.
Supporters argue that maintaining the No. 1 position for four straight weeks is a testament to the project’s popularity and the effectiveness of McGregor’s promotional efforts. Critics, however, have questioned how the project has sustained its chart dominance, leading to ongoing discussions about digital sales, streaming numbers, and overall chart performance.
Despite the criticism, McGregor has embraced the moment, highlighting the success as proof that independent reggae productions can compete with and outperform releases from some of the genre’s most established names. His supporters see the achievement as a major victory for Jamaican music, while others continue to scrutinize the metrics behind the chart results.
Regardless of differing opinions, one thing is undeniable: Kiss of Judas Album has become one of the most talked-about reggae projects of 2026. With Kemar McGregor leading the iTunes Reggae Albums chart for four consecutive weeks ahead of Vybz Kartel’s God & Time at No. 2 and competing against the enduring strength of Bob Marley’s catalog, the producer has firmly positioned himself at the center of the reggae conversation.
