Recording industry history was made on April 1, 2022, when Koffee’s debut album “Gifted” hit the Official UK Albums Chart at Number 9. With that chart entry, Koffee became the first female artist from Jamaica to achieve a Top 10 entry on the chart.

“Gifted” was released on March 25, 2022, by Promised Land Recordings/Columbia Records. The 10-track album is one of five new projects in the weekly chart’s Top 10.

Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Legend” held the Number 30 spot and is the only other album to make the chart this week. The Marley album has spent 1,023 weeks on the UK Chart to date. This is the second-longest time period in the chart’s history.
