Reggae in Album Draft

Reggae runs from the 60s to the 2010s. Only one reggae song is big enough for Lead Single, so its best use is the Deep Cut at track 9.

Which slots Reggae fills

• Lead Single (track 3) and The Closer (track 12) want your biggest songs, whatever the genre. 1 Reggae songs qualify.
• Deep Cut (track 9) wants your smallest song. 31 Reggae songs qualify.

Albums score higher when they use fewer genres and more decades, so Reggae works best as one of two or three genres spread across several eras. How scoring works.
