i only revert to the old ones because reggae just isnt that popular on a pop level anymore outside of certain neighborhoods in brooklyn.

i think the last big ones have been

rum and redbull
hold yuh
About 5 songs by Vybz
then maybe Serani??

"Rum & Redbull" is definitely still getting played. i heard a kid playing Demarco "Fallen Soldiers" off his phone this other day and that's from what, 2007?

Brendan was sayin dancehall might have a mainstream resurgence coming soon; apparently Ross signed Jah Cure to MMG and maybe bought Mavado out of his contract with Def Jam Jamaica?

I love this podcast but there's never a track list. Occasionally they mention the song name if you're lucky. But the music is always great.

the real hit songs are still pretty much the same as above. konshens keeps on doing it big with gyal a bubble and do sumn. potential kidd - ah yah suh nice & she say ah yah suh nice needs to be mentioned. cecile & assassin combo "hey" is nice and has crossover potential. biggest one drop / reggae songs are christopher martin - cheater's prayer and romain virgo - system.

riddim update:

sexxx tape (truckback)
chill spot (chimney)
priceless signature (jam 2)
tun up tun up (dave kelly / first name)
hot chocolate (12 to 12)
jouvert (UIM)
drum corps (mario c)
lovebug (washroom)
tns (cr203)
wet up (seanizzle)
aurora skies (sounique)

lovebug is probably my fav one right now...washroom ent is always on point.
