Following the highly controversial teaser for her latest drop ‘inches’ on Wednesday, International Dancehall Star Spice has rocketed to the summit of the international Reggae iTunes Album charts.

Her latest project ‘Emancipation’, has been catapulted to the number 1 spot, mere hours of its release on Midnight Thursday on the streaming platform.

The feat comes just 36-hours after being the most mentioned topic on both twitter and google following the eruption of discussion over the explicit promotional teaser of the album’s lead single ‘inches’.

The Grammy nominated deejay, who is no stranger to shock marketing, has successfully been able to convert the hype into streams as her project was also ranked among top-10 new releases on Amazon music.

The different Category singer, took to her social media pages to share the good news with her ‘besties’ as she reveled in the continuous success and thanked her fans for the support in making it happen.

“Besties we got the #1 Reggae Album in the World 🌎 😩😩😩, we #1 on the UK 🇬🇧 ITunes Reggae chart , We #1 on the USA 🇺🇸 Reggae ITunes Chart ,

The ‘So mi Like it hit’ maker captioned the post.

“ We the #1 Best selling “INTERNATIONAL” Albums on Amazon , we #1 in Jamaica 🇯🇲 on Apple Music………. Besties THANK YOU 🙏🏾 I may not have a major record label behind me , I may not have a management team, I may not have a lot of things but as long as I have you guys and God I’m ok 😪🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾” she added.

The singer who has been enjoying international attention over the last two-years including charting in several territories for her smash ‘Go down deh’ with fellow dancehall Juggernauts Sean Paul and Shaggy, has been maintaining the wave attention to her catalog.

Emancipation follows her Grammy nominated effort ‘10’ last year, of which the song is part of. Given the latest numbers and global craze, it’s proving that the Queen’s reign, is not only being maintained but is expanding.
