Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has cemented her place in music history as the first African female artist to achieve seven entries on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The milestone comes after her track ‘What You Need’ debuted at number 93 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, bringing her total chart entries to seven.
With this achievement, Tems now ties with her compatriot Burna Boy and South African group Seether as the African artists with the most Billboard Hot 100 appearances.
Tems first made history in 2022 as the first African artist to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, following her collaboration with Future and Drake on the hit ‘Wait For U’.
The singer is poised to surpass the current tie with Burna Boy and Seether, as her feature on J. Cole’s upcoming track ‘Bunce Road Blues’ with Future is expected to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 next week.
