“Keep The Fire Burning” marks a new collaboration between Marley and DJ GQ, who is credited alongside the singer on the recording. The song is also listed in Julian Marley’s 2026 discography, with both artists credited as primary performers.
The No. 1 position adds another achievement to Julian Marley’s career, which spans more than two decades. He released his debut album, Lion in the Morning, in 1996 and has since recorded projects including A Time & Place, Awake, Colors of Royal and Chapters: I Remember (Book One).
The latest success also continues Marley’s association with Tuff Gong, the musical institution established by his father and closely connected to the Marley family’s contribution to reggae music. Releasing the track through Tuff Gong International gives the collaboration an additional connection to Jamaica’s reggae heritage.
For Marley, the chart result comes as he continues to build on his family’s musical legacy while maintaining his own career as a recording artist. “Keep The Fire Burning” now adds a 2026 iTunes chart milestone to his body of work.
The song’s No. 1 position reflects sales and downloads recorded on the iTunes Reggae chart at the time of the announcement. Chart positions can change as new releases enter the market, but the achievement marks a notable moment for Marley and DJ GQ and underscores the continued commercial reach of reggae music.
