PICK OF THE HITS! 2011 | The Singles Top 50.

This chart features only singles that topped Richie B's Dancehall Top 25 and Reggae Top 25 in 2011. The ranking is based on the weeks they were holding the #1 position plus the weeks on the chart.

When it comes to counting the amount of entries in the Dancehall chart of Richie B's "Jamaica's Weekly Countdown Charts" throughout the year 2011, then -- just like in 2010 -- both Mavado and Vybz Kartel have to be awarded as the most prolific as well as most successful dancehall artists. While Mavado scored hits with tunes such as "When You Feel Lonely", "Star Bwoy", "All Dem A Talk", "Pepper", "Delilah", "Final Destination", "Settle Down", "Do Road" and "Stulla", Vybz Kartel also delivered quite a few boom hits in 2011 including "Hot Grabba", "Touch A Button", "Yeah Though I Walk", "Cake Soap", "Look Pon We" (with Russian), "Dancehall Hero", "The Lyricist", and "Summer Time". Thus it's not really surprising that tunes from Mavado and Vybz Kartel (both with 4 solo singles) dominate this Singles Top 50. Just like in 2010, the top 10 features a whole heap of JA produced modern roots & lovers efforts, however it doesn't imply that there have been that exciting tunes released. Except for Queen Ifrica, the list doesn't include female roots artists like Etana and others anymore. Obviously new names such as Elvis D, Robert Minott, I-Octane, Prophecy, and Ikaya to name five have enjoyed more hit success in Jamaica than established artists like for example Capleton, Sizzla, Sanchez, Luciano, and Beres Hammond.
