As of March 22nd 2022 Music genre Afrobeats will be filling the void left by Reggae music on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart.

The magazine has announced its first-ever US chart for Afrobeats songs, two years after discontinuing its Reggae Digital Song Sales chart back in 2020.

The Billboard Reggae Digital Song Sales chart that ranked the top-downloaded and streamed Reggae and Dancehall songs in the US was cancelled since January 2020. The Reggae Albums chart, nevertheless, continues to be published each week.

The US Afrobeats Songs chart will debut on March 29, 2022.
