Back on Billboard’s Year-End 2024 Canadian Chart, Bob Marley and The Wailers secure the No. 65 spot on the Canadian Year-End 2024 Top Artists chart, driven by the enduring popularity of Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and The Wailers, which ranks No. 76 on the Year-End 2024 Canadian Albums Chart.
Marley topped Billboard’s 2024 Year-End Reggae Charts for 4 years in a row.
