After 13 years behind bars, dancehall giant Vybz Kartel has enjoyed an extraordinary year, driven by global demand, sold-out arena shows, major box-office returns, and renewed critical acclaim. Yet even amid his dominant return to live performance, the deejay’s streaming power has remained just as formidable.

A look at Kartel’s official YouTube channel shows that since the release of his first single of 2025, “Str8 Vybz,” his catalog has amassed more than 133 million views. Leading the pack is the gratitude-filled single “God Is the Greatest,” the most-streamed Kartel release of 2025 so far, pulling in 31.8 million combined views across its video and audio versions. The track is featured on his Viking (10th Year Anniversary Deluxe).

Kartel has also continued to tap into his extensive catalog, with visuals for some of his most iconic songs maintaining strong momentum. His 2014 hit “Ignite the World” has accumulated 13 million views, while “Miami Vice Episode” stands at 4.6 million.

Also among his top-streamed singles are “Story Book,” which helped kick off one of the year’s most-streamed riddims by his longtime collaborator Rvssian, pulling in 8.4 million views. It is followed by “Str8 Vybz” with 7.3 million views, “I Know” (6.1 million), “Amout” (5.9 million), and “Only Gets Better” (5.4 million).
