Jamaican reggae musician Protoje has added another milestone to his growing discography, securing his sixth placement on the iconic Billboard Reggae Albums chart with his latest studio release, *Art of Acceptance*. The new project made its first appearance on the weekly ranking at the number 9 position, marking another consistent win for the artist on the influential U.S. music chart.
Protoje’s history with the Billboard chart stretches back more than a decade, with his first chart entry coming in 2013 with the album *The 8 Year Affair*. That debut project performed impressively, climbing to a peak of number 5 on the ranking. Just two years later, in 2015, he delivered his breakout chart-topping release *Ancient Future*, which claimed the number 1 spot. He duplicated that success three years later, when his 2018 album *A Matter of Time* spent one week holding the highest position on the reggae albums tally.
In the years following that second number 1 hit, Protoje has continued to earn new chart positions with every subsequent release. His 2020 offering *In Search of Lost Time* reached a peak of number 6, while his 2022 album *Third Time’s The Charm* landed at number 8. Now, with his 2026 release *Art of Acceptance*, he extends his unbroken streak of charting albums, a rare show of consistency in the modern music industry.
This latest entry is not just a personal win for Protoje—it also makes history for Jamaican reggae this year. *Art of Acceptance* is only the second album from a Jamaican artist to debut on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in 2026 so far. A few weeks prior, another Jamaican talent, Alkaline, saw his release *NPT* climb to a matching number 9 peak on the same ranking, signaling a steady stream of new Jamaican reggae gaining traction on U.S. charts this year.
