Wizkid, Nigerian singer, has
earned his second entry into the US Billboard Hot 100 charts following his role
in ‘Brown Skin Girl’, a track off ‘The Lion King: The Gift’, Beyonce’s recent
album.
The song, which debuted at number
76 on the Hot 100, marks Wizkid’s second entry on the chart as a featured act.
In 2016, the award-winning singer
made his first appearance on the chat as a featured act in ‘One Dance’, Drake’s
chart topper — which later that year became Sportify’s most streamed song in
the history of the music platform.
Meanwhile, this week’s chart also
sees Lil Nax occupy the number one position ahead of the likes of Chris Brown,
Drake, Rick Ross, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes and a
league of other renowned figures.
Beyonce had dropped the ‘Lion
King’-inspired album on July 19 — featuring Wizkid, Blue Ivy Carter, her first
daughter with Jay-Z, and Saint JHN in ‘Brown Skin Girl’ — a track that became
an instant hit on social media, spurring the hashtag #BrownSkinGirlChallenge.
At just seven-year-old, Blue Ivy
also earned her first career entry on the Hot 100.
Other Nigerians who featured in
the 27-track project include Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Mr Eazi, and
Tekno.
Billboards Hot 100 is the music
industry standard record chart in the United States for songs published weekly
by Billboard, an American entertainment media brand.
