Tems Makes History as First African Female on Billboard
Nigerian singer Tems, whose full name is Temilade Openiyi, has become the first African female artist to secure seven entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her latest achievement comes with the debut of her song "Need," which entered the chart at number 93.
This milestone brings her total entries to seven, tying her with compatriot Burna Boy and the South African group Seether for the most entries by African artists on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2022, Tems made history as the first African artist to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her collaboration with Drake on the hit song "Wait for U." She is poised to break the tie with Burna Boy and Seether soon, as her upcoming collaboration with J.
Cole, titled "Bunc Road," is expected to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart next week.
