Bob Marley scores a new bestselling album decades after his death

Bob Marley’s legendary 1976 Hammersmith run just dropped as a commercial bombshell. *Roots Rock Reggae – Live at the Hammersmith Odeon*, a vault-sourced live collection from that historic London stand, has charted on the U.K. bestsellers—proving the King of Reggae’s live magnetism transcends decades and death itself.

Recorded at peak creative moment in 1976, this previously unreleased session captures Marley and The Wailers in raw, unfiltered form. It’s a reminder that even archived material from the reggae pantheon moves units and moves hearts in real time. The chart success underscores a timeless truth: Marley’s catalog isn’t nostalgia—it’s living, breathing cultural currency.
