Nigerian Superstar, Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ has debuted at Number 82 spot on this week’s Billboard 100.

‘Essence’ which is the fourth song from his album ‘Made in Lagos’ has become a fan favorite and summer hit song for celebrities in America and other parts of the world.

This feat earns Tems her first career entry on the chart.

Billboard in a tweet wrote: “Wizkid’s “Essence,” featuring @temsbaby, debuts at Number 82 on this week’s #Hot100. It earns Tems her first career entry on the chart.”
Recall that ‘Essence” featuring Tems also made it to former US President Barack Obama‘s Best Songs of 2020.

Wizkid’s “Made In Lagos” album has made it to Billboard’s World Album Chart for the second time since its release.

Hot 100 rankings on Billboard are based on sales (physical and digital), radio play, and online streaming in the United States.

The 14-track album features the likes of Damian Marley, Skepta, Projexx, H.E.R, and Ella Mai alongside Burna Boy, Tems.

In June 2021, Essence debuted at number 91 on the UK Singles Chart after Ginger peaked at No. 67 making ‘Made in Lagos’ the only Nigerian album to have more than one song debut on the UK Singles Chart.

Wizkid‘s fourth studio album “Made In Lagos” has topped charts and is still topping charts since its release on the 30th of October 2020.

From making it to British Vogue’s “Twelve Best Albums of 2020” and The Guardian UK’s Top 50 Albums of 2020 to “Ginger” appearing as number 150 on the US Top 200 Apple Music list, it is no doubt that the album has become a global hit, making waves and gaining recognitions all over the world.

Wizbaba. Anytime Wizkid achieve something, he no dey too make noise.

Only God knows how Wizkid take dey get this international recognition.

This is more than talent.

What is good music?

What kind of music do Nigerians like?

I am tired of saying that Nigerians overhype everything, even musicians, they don't know good music.

Nigerians listen to just beats and not lyrics and message in music, they just want to dance and forget their sorrow and be happy.

2face started singing useless music when he noticed Nigerians don't value message in music.

Fela, Osadebe, Ebenezer obey had a message in their music that is why their music are evergreen

If Beethoven was a Nigerian, he would have remained unknown.

According to Thomas carlye bad music chases good music from the market. they water down the standard

Big wiz, it can only be wizkid

Truly magic

Damn nigga

Please what's the essence of this news?
How did we officially start celebrating medocrity.

So having a song that is #82 on a list of 100 songs is now a feat?
Tufiakwa!!!

Ok

Machala to the world

Whichever way you choose to see it, this is a win for Nigeria.

It’s funny how young Nigerians are the ones making us proud while the older generations are the ones ruining the country.

Widkid does his talking in the studio and we feel his greatness on the music sphere. A Grammy award winner without being snotty like Burna boy. No drama no noise yet delivers like a mid wife

Congrats to him but Davido is way bigger than him

This guy is just a lucky guy and nothing else

JUSTICE FOR CHIDINMA

B4 nko

Good one

W

I

But they just said Ginger once peaked at number 67. So definitely not the first Nigerian song to hit the billboard charts.

Nice feat Wizzy!

Wizkid is like Messi, Davido is like CR7. Davido and CR7 are noisemakers. The real Kings are Messi and Wizkid.

wizkid is africas biggest export, quote me anywhere

no noise, i too like this guy, he will hardly post this on twitter of instagram

My guy be going places

I love the song

This album probably going to get a Grammy nomination this year.
