Tems Makes History on UK Charts with Dave Collaboration

Nigerian singer Tems has made history by becoming the first African female artist to reach the number one spot on the official UK singles chart. This achievement was accomplished through her collaboration with British rapper Dave on the song "Raindance." The track climbed to the top position, marking a significant moment for Afrobeat music and showcasing its global appeal.

Tems' success further solidifies her position as a leading international artist in the competitive music market. The song, which is part of Dave's 2025 album "Boi Plai," steadily gained momentum following its debut in the top 40 and received critical acclaim for blending Dave's introspective style with Tems' powerful soulful vocals.

The music video, shot in Lagos, also played a crucial role in the song's rise to the number one spot. Despite facing stiff competition from other high-profile releases, Tems' achievement underscores her growing international success.
