In early 2016, he was featured in a Gap 1969 Denim campaign.[7]

In early 2017, Marley signed to Island Records.

Notes
  1. United States sales figures for "Chained to the Rhythm" as of February 2017.[27]
gollark: These CPU vulnerabilities really stem from the fact that they're trying to emulate decades-old systems well enough to run C-style programs (i.e. monotasking, for loops and not map etc everywhere, mutability *and* sharing memory...) properly while tacking on new features for speed etc.
gollark: I'm now selling synthetic dragon eggs at Wojbie's shop. 2KST/i.
gollark: Er...
gollark: Madness.
gollark: What are they?
