Koffee Headed For The ‘Global Level” As ‘Gifted’ Makes UK Chart

Grammy kid Koffee released her debut album Gifted last Friday to critical acclaim. The album climbed to number 1 on the Reggae iTunes chart but has since slipped to number 2. Gifted is number 1 on Apple Music in Jamaica, Malawi and Trinidad.

With the Billboard chart to come next Tuesday, the album took the #9 spot on the UK Top 100 albums chart and not the number 6 position as was predicted by Official Chartsearlier this week.

The album however landed at number 5 on the physical albums chart and that makes Koffee the first female Jamaican to make the UK albums chart’s top ten.

Other women of Jamaican descent to climb the UK albums chart are Stefflon Don and Diana King.

Stefflon’s 2018 album Secure peaked at 35 and Diana King’s 1995 album Tougher Than Love peaked at number 50 on the top 100 chart.

Since Koffee came on the scenes she has gotten alot of label support. After winning the Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2020, John Fleckenstein, co-president of RCA said to Rolling Stones “Koffee’s success continues, it’s not gonna end in Jamaica. It’s gonna end on a global level.”

The UK’s Top 100 biggest artist albums of the week is compiled by the Official Charts Company, based on sales of CDs, downloads, vinyl and weighted audio streams.

The singer shared live performances of Shine, Runaway and Where Im From recently.
