Junior Gong's Welcome To Jamrock single is spending its 14th week at number one on the New York Reggae chart. What is interesting about his accomplishment is that Gong's father, the late reggae icon Bob Marley, spent 14 weeks at number one on the same chart in 1980 with Could You Be Loved.

Welcome To Jamrock which samples Ini Kamoze's 1984 hit World A Reggae Music, moves up to number 48 on this week's Billboard R&B Hip Hop Singles & Tracks chart.

On that chart, the senior Marley peaked at number 19 with Exodus, the year before Jr Gong was born, 1977.
