Billboard's Top Reggae Albums Billboard's Top Reggae Albums

Description:
While it's no surprise that the Marley family tops the Billboard reggae charts this week, there are some very interesting developments going on:
- Collie Buddz holds strong with his self-titled album in the #2 spot. Some people compare him unfairly to Eminem, but I hope we see a similarly broad artistic outpouring from the young reggae artiste.
- Stephen Marley is making a splash, but where is Kymani ? And speaking of Marley, are people really enjoying Roots, Rock, Remixed ? It seems a little too clubby for true reggae fans.
- Kiwi reggae act Katchafire is representing New Zealand with their new album, Say What You're Thinking. Their upcoming appearance in the Raggamuffin festival may be generating some of the interest - they've held the #6 spot for for 2 weeks in a row.
- Matisyahu , initially considered a gimmick act, is clearly demonstrating that he's here to stay - looking for more great music from the Hasidic artiste!
Here are this week's Billboard.com top reggae albums:
- Bob Marley - Forever Bob Marley
- Collie Buddz - Collie Buddz
- Stephen Marley - Mind Control
- Reggae Gold 2007: Treasure Of The Caribbean
- Bob Marley And The Wailers - Roots, Rock, Remixed
- Matisyahu - Youth

Here's some information on the local bands who will play at the Raggamuffin Festival in New Zealand. If anyone can find their music and share it, let us know!
I pulled this from what I think was a press release - if this text is copyrighted, please flag it as inappropriate (below) and I'll pull it.
The Black Seeds
Wellington 8-piece THE BLACK SEEDS have, since forming in 1997, achieved gold and double platinum selling albums. The band recently signed to renowned European based labels Sonar Kollek/Best Seven and Rough Trade NL and in July 2007 released their highly anticipated album Into The Dojo throughout NZ and Europe. The album reached double platinum sales after spending five consecutive weeks at #1 in the NZ album charts.
The Black Seeds first started turning heads in 2001 with their debut album Keep On Pushing which was released in NZ (via Indie label Loop Recordings), Australia (via Shock Records), France, Belgium and Switzerland (through Productions Speciales). Keep On Pushing's debut single reached #29 in France's Groove charts and #100 in the overall French single charts.
The bands second studio album, On the Sun (2004) debuted at #3 on the NZ album charts, achieving double platinum sales, and the single So True was one of the most popular and highly played songs of 2005. The Black Seeds have completed three successful European tours including a 27-show tour in 2006 performing across Holland, Austria, Germany, Scotland, England and Ireland, and have headlined successful gigs in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Katchafire
Katchafire are NZ's premier reggae outfit. Their 2003 debut album Revival yielded the countries biggest selling single Giddy Up.
Katchafire have since continued to release high selling albums, have supported bands such as Michael Franti/Spearhead and The Wailers on their 05 NZ tour, and played to great acclaim at concerts and reggae festivals around the world. 2007 has seen the band with a busy International calendar taking the stage at festivals such as Roskilde in Denmark, Rototomsplash in Italy, SummerJam in Germany, Larmer Tree and Rhythms Of The World in England to estimated crowds of around 300,000.
The Midnights
THE MIDNIGHTS were formed in 2002, and are the up and coming stars of the live reggae scene at its raw and exciting best.
The band have developed an original reggae sound rich in lyric and infused with a hypnotic blend of psychedelic soul, jazz and RnB. They have upported Jamaican legends The Skatalites, and appeared on the same bill as Big Youth and Third World.
House of Shem
HOUSE OF SHEM's music unfolds like a set of storybooks, speaking messages of cultural roots in Aotearoa and spanning the political, social, and personal.
Carl Perkins musician, songwriter, and performer (previously from Herbs, Mana and The Twelve Tribes of Israel NZ) formed the band with his two sons Te Omeka and Isaiah, and says his sons were raised with reggae music and often accompanied their father on International shows such as The Wailers, UB40, Maxi Priest, Toots & the Maytals, and Judy Mowatt. House Of Shem have enjoyed hit singles, Keep Rising, Dreams, and What About The Children.
