Vybz Kartel and Chris Brown Single Enter Two Billboard R&B Charts

Vybz Kartel is back on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart through a new link-up with American R&B singer Chris Brown. The cut, “& Party,” is taken from Brown’s self-titled album BROWN and starts at number 39 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally.
The same recording also bows at number 22 on Billboard’s R&B Songs chart. Kartel and Spice’s “Ramping Shop” previously climbed to number 76 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 2009.
Brown’s BROWN set, meanwhile, sits at number seven on the all-genre Billboard 200, number three on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, number 19 on Top Album Sales and number four on Top Streaming Albums.
Before this week’s movement, Kartel last appeared on a Billboard chart in December 2025, when “PBT” by Travis Scott, Tyla and Vybz Kartel peaked at number five on Rhythmic Airplay.
