Aleighcia Scott’s new single “Cry” takes the UK Reggae Single Chart top spot. Aleighcia Scott celebrates her second consecutive release day number one on Apple’s UK Reggae single chart with her new single, “Cry“.

She enjoys support from Craig Charles, David Rodigan, Seani B and BBC Introducing, for whom she performed at Glastonbury and Latitude in 2019. This led to appearances in the home of Reggae, Kingston JA, including sterling sets at the world-renowned Dub Club and on King Jammy’s Soundsystem. Aleighcia Scott grew up in Cardiff and with family roots from Trelawny, Jamaica.
