Ayra Starr’s ‘hot’ song, Rhythm & Blues, has reached No.20 on the Billboard US Afrobeats Chart after eight long weeks on the league table, according to chart monitoring platform, Chart Africa.
The 21-year-old unveiled the trending single in September this year and went ahead to collaborate with a Swedish group of singers, Neiked on the song ‘You’re Hired.’
She again made history early this week, securing her first Grammy nomination -becoming the youngest Nigerian female performer to have attained that height.
The Mavin Records signee had previously said she was “taking over the world” and clearly, her achievements in recent times are an indication of how she is not relenting on her mission.
The official music video for Rhythm and Blues has so far reached over 3 million views on YouTube alone with over 1 million streams on Audiomack.
