A BIG FEAT - WIZKID "ESSENCE" FEATURING TEMS CRACKS BILLBOARD HOT 100

"ESSENCE" has officially debuted at #82 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the first Nigerian song in history to crack the Billboard 100 Hot charts on July 12, 2021.

The song marks Wizkid's third appearance on the charts, after 'One Dance' Drake featuring Wizkid and Kyla famously hit No. 1 in 2016. For Tems, this marked her first appearance, as her launch gathers heat.

This comes after the song deemed certifiable Billboard Bubbling Under Charts for the first time. This marks a remarkable achievement for Wizkid and Tems, who are signed to the same label and for African music as a whole.

Congratulations to Wizkid and Tems!
