South African musicians’ “Tshwala Bam” is the top song on Nigeria’s Apple Music rankings.
With their song Tshwala Bam, which features S.N.E and EeQue for the first time in three years, South African pair TitoM and Yuppe are creating history for their nation.
The song is a success because it peaked at the top of the Apple Music Nigeria Top Songs chart. Being the first South African song to top the charts in three years, this accomplishment is noteworthy for the country’s music industry.
The last time a South African song reached the number one spot on the charts was in 2021 with Focalistic’s Ke Star (Remix), which included Davido, the famous Nigerian singer. It’s noteworthy that Tshwala Bam accomplishes this feat without the participation of any Nigerian musicians, which makes it all the more remarkable.
For the 1st time in 3 years the #1 song on Nigeria Apple Music Top Songs chart is a South African ?? song.
– The last time was Focalistic & Davido’s “Ke Star (Remix)”.
– It’s also the 1st South African ?? song without a Nigerian feature to clinch the #1 spot. pic.twitter.com/NCHqG1dgwM
