Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has beaten American female music stars to a new record on the Billboard chart.
The Nigerian achieved the rare feat after her song ‘Free Mind’ broke the record for longest-running number one by a female artist in Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart history. The song remained number one on the chart this week, making it 17 weeks at peak, a record by any female artiste.
The song debuted on the main chart, Billboard Hot 100 last year, making Tems the first Nigerian female soloist to appear as a lead on the chart. ‘Free Mind,” which is off Tems’ debut Extended Play (EP) has earned millions of streams in the United States across major digital streaming platforms.
