YG Marley’s genre-defining anthem “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” has reached yet another monumental milestone—this time north of the border. The chart-topping reggae single has been certified double platinum in Canada, further solidifying its status as a global hit with deep cultural resonance.
The certification, announced on June 20, 2025, by Music Canada, marks over 160,000 units sold in the country through a combination of digital sales and on-demand streams. Music Canada, the organisation responsible for administering official Gold and Platinum awards, plays a vital role in advancing the country’s music scene through education initiatives, artist support, and industry development.
Originally released in late 2023, “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” took the world by storm with its spiritual message and rich legacy. The track samples Bob Marley’s “Crisis”—a subtle yet powerful nod to YG Marley’s iconic grandfather—and has since sold over 5 million units globally. In the United States alone, it has gone Platinum with over 1.5 million units sold to date, and it has also earned multi-Platinum status in countries like New Zealand. Its impact has been amplified by electrifying performances during Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Tour, where YG brought the song to sold-out arenas worldwide.
With over 439.97 million streams on Spotify as of June 19, 2025 and over 45 million YouTube views, “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” continues to defy expectations. More than a commercial triumph, it has become a generational anthem—an affirmation that reggae’s spirit of upliftment still resonates deeply in today’s global music landscape.
