Protoje — born Oje Ken Ollivierre in Kingston, Jamaica — has earned his sixth entry on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart with his seventh studio album The Art of Acceptance, released April 17, 2026, through Ineffable Records and his own In.Digg.Nation Collective. The album debuted at number 9, representing a significant commercial achievement for one of reggae’s most critically respected but commercially selective artists.
The album, featuring the standout single “At We Feet” alongside Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, has been praised across the board for its emotional depth, sophisticated production, and the continuing maturation of Protoje’s songwriting. His ongoing US tour — the Reggae Invasion Tour 2026 with Jesse Royal, running from April 15 through May 24 — is providing a powerful live platform for the new material.
The Billboard placement confirms what fans and critics have observed: Protoje is entering the peak phase of an already remarkable career, with artistic credibility and commercial traction pulling in the same direction for the first time.
