In a groundbreaking achievement, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, better known as Temz, has outshined prominent American female music stars by setting a remarkable record on the Billboard chart.
Temz’s captivating song, ‘Free Mind,’ has shattered the previous records and secured the top spot for the longest-running number one by a female artist in the history of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.
Maintaining its dominance, the song has spent an astonishing 17 consecutive weeks at the peak position on the chart. This achievement is unparalleled by any other female artist in the industry.
Notably, ‘Free Mind‘ also made its mark on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart last year, marking Temz as the first Nigerian female soloist to emerge as a lead on this prominent music chart.
Hailing from Temz’s debut Extended Play (EP), the remarkable success of ‘Free Mind‘ has propelled the talented artist to earn millions of streams across major digital platforms in the United States.
This extraordinary feat not only highlights Temz’s exceptional talent and vocal prowess but also represents a significant milestone for Nigerian music on the global stage.
