Winston Irie’s “Orthodoxy” Peaks On NY’s Reggae Chart

After entering New York’s Reggae Chart nineteen weeks ago and making it all the way to the #2 spot, Winston Irie‘s song, Orthodoxy, is unfortunately now descending. It sat at #2 behind YG Marley‘s Praise Jah in the Moonlight for a couple of weeks before it began going down.

Notwithstanding its position on the chart, Orthodoxy continues to do well on radio and is even featured on quite a few reggae mixtapes. What’s more, the song is literally trending in parts of Africa.
