Reggae in 2025 continues to evolve while holding firm to its roots — a balance of consciousness, rhythm, and soul that defines the genre’s global influence. This week’s CEM Top 10 Reggae Chart captures that spirit, spotlighting new releases that blend deep messages with modern soundscapes. Every song on this list dropped in 2025 and has been making waves on streaming platforms, radio, and social media across the Caribbean and beyond.

Leading the charge this week is Chronixx with his triumphant comeback single “Exile.” The title track from his first full-length album in eight years, Exile embodies introspection, resilience, and rebirth — a poetic journey through identity, faith, and freedom. Chronixx’s return has reignited the global reggae conversation, cementing his place as one of the genre’s modern greats.
Following close behind, Protoje’s revolutionary anthem “BIG 45” continues to climb with its call for empowerment and self-determination. Koffee, now re-emerging as “Original Koffee,” brings brightness and youthful confidence with her self-titled single “Koffee.” Meanwhile, Lila Iké’s soulful “Solitude” delivers vulnerability wrapped in sweet harmonies, and Kabaka Pyramid’s “Rebel Soul” reminds fans that consciousness still drives reggae’s heartbeat.
The second half of the chart showcases the strength of reggae’s new wave — Yaksta’s motivational “Rich & Righteous,” Khalia’s tropical love song “Island Queen,” and Jah9’s meditative “Divine Order.” Rounding out the list, Royal Blu x Protoje’s collaborative track “Life From Kingston” and Tarrus Riley’s “Simple Life” keep the message grounded in love, gratitude, and simplicity.
