Fresh off a fiery lyrical exchange with Tommy Lee Sparta, dancehall heavyweight Masicka has wasted no time asserting his dominance in 2026. The Portmore native is currently leading the Jamaica Apple Music Top Albums Chart, with his latest EP Her Name Is Love holding firm at the No.1 spot, underscoring his ability to balance lyrical warfare with commercial success.
The strong showing highlights Masicka’s impressive catalogue depth. While Her Name Is Love sits comfortably at the summit, his acclaimed sophomore album Generation Of Kings has slipped two places to No.16, and his debut project 438 remains in steady rotation at No.36. Rounding out the chart’s Top Five are Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving at No.2, Armanii’s THE IMPACT at No.3, Squash’s F.A.M.E (Faith Always Move Everything) at No.4, and Popcaan’s Nothing Without God at No.5—placing Masicka squarely among elite company in both local and international pop culture spaces.
Beyond Jamaican shores, the momentum continues. On the U.S. iTunes Reggae Albums Chart, Her Name Is Love is currently positioned at No.31, signalling growing overseas traction. Released via Def Jam Recordings in December, the EP marked a creative pivot for Masicka, leaning into themes of love, desire and relationships without sacrificing his trademark lyrical sharpness. Its lead single, “Keys,” crossed one million Spotify streams shortly after release, setting the tone for the project’s warm reception.
The chart success further cements an already decorated run. Masicka’s Generation Of Kings debuted at No.2 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, while 438 previously made history as the first Jamaican album to remain in Apple Music Jamaica’s Top 10 for an entire year. With global charts responding, awards recognition piling up, and his name buzzing across dancehall’s most talked-about conversations, Masicka appears poised to turn early-2026 momentum into yet another landmark year.
