COTT Top 10 Radio Plays — Jan 10–14, 2026
This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
These rankings reflect the most frequently played songs on Trinidad & Tobago radio for the week, based solely on station rotation. It’s important to note that radio play does not necessarily represent what the public is searching for, requesting at parties, or gravitating toward online.
Radio stations do not indicate whether these spins come from listener requests, internal staff preferences, or preset rotation schedules—so the list should be viewed strictly as Top Radio Plays, not a definitive measure of national popularity.
That said, Sokah2Soca fully agrees with the #1 position this week:
? “Respectfully Yours” – Full Blown ?
Sampled from Edwin "Crazy" Ayoung's "Cold Sweat," this track has genuinely captured the nation and continues to dominate the cultural conversation.
The Top 10 Songs:
- Respectfully Yours—Full Blown
- Still A Road Man—Bunji Garlin
- Rum & Coca Cola—Kes x Tano
- Wedding Band—Coutain x Tano
- Last Train—Mical Teja
- Encore—Machel Montano
- Rock So—Patrice Roberts x MadLypso
- Inch By Inch—Yung Bredda
- Capital—Mical Teja x Patrice Roberts
- Compromise—Machel Montano x Tano
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists.

Rikki Jai x Yung Bredda Dish Out Pure Flavor in “Aloo”
This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
Rikki Jai and Yung Bredda serve up a pot bubbling with vibes in their new Chutney Soca release, “Aloo.” It’s been a minute since we featured a Chutney track, but this one was too tasty to ignore—a cheeky ode to local cuisine with a saucy twist bold enough to make tamarind sauce blush and chadon beni hide its face. There is more to the sauce in this video and one could say it is teasingly saucy.
The duo blends humor, heat, and pure Trini mischief, supported by a rhythm section that feels like a backyard lime turned up to festival level. The music video only adds to the fun, matching the song’s playful energy beat for beat.
“Aloo” was written by Bjorn Graham, Samraj Jaimungal, and Akhenaton Lewis, with production magic from The KVG x Trini‑Baby, plus background vocals from Trini‑Baby and Bjorn Graham. Engineering comes courtesy of Kasey Phillips of Precision Productions, and the track was recorded by Stephon Gabriel.
We loved the very funny and visually invigorating end to the music video. This is a wickedly flavorful addition to the 2026 Chutney Soca season—and a welcome return to the genre on Sokah2Soca.

Preedy x Destra Ignite the Season with “History in the Making”
Dive deeper into Caribbean music and culture at Sokah2Soca — your go-to source for Soca, Calypso, and Carnival coverage. First published on Sokah2Soca, now streaming live via Island Vybe Radio.
When Preedy and Destra Garcia link up, you expect fireworks—but “History in the Making” goes a step further. It’s a declaration. A celebration. A call to movement. And a reminder that when two powerful voices in the culture decide to build something together, the result is nothing short of electric.
From the first bar, the track radiates pure energy. The production leans into a vibrant, feel‑good groove powered by live guitars and a clean, well‑balanced mix that provides the song its bright, forward‑driving pulse. It’s the kind of arrangement that feels tailor‑made for the road, the stage, and every fête in between—a sonic space where both artists shine without stepping on each other’s fire.
What truly anchors the song, though, is its audience‑first spirit. Preedy and Destra tap into that timeless soca instinct: get the people involved, get the people moving, and get the people feeling like they’re part of something bigger. With lines urging the crowd to lift their hands and join the moment, the track becomes more than a performance—it becomes a shared experience. A communion.
Can we get real? Let's ponder the importance of the title. This is where we get into the details. “History in the Making” isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a statement of intent. The collaboration itself is a moment. The energy is a moment. The unity between artist and audience is a moment. Together, they form something that feels destined to echo long after Carnival 2026.
Preedy brings his smooth, melodic command. Destra brings her unmatched bacchanal stage presence and vocal power. The production ties it all together with a modern sound grounded in live instrumentation. The resulting production feels both celebratory and purposeful—it is a reminder that soca’s magic comes when talented people pool resources. This will be a magical time for these artists. It will be "History in the Making!"
We like the vibes and what we hear. If Carnival 2026 follows this path, then indeed, we are creating history.
