Notable in the additions is ‘Essence’ (remix) featuring Justin Bieber and ‘Mood’, featuring upcoming artiste, Buju.
However, a big thanks to this new remix with Justin Bieber, Wizkid’s “Essence,” featuring Tems, zooms into the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with a 13-5 lift on the chart dated Aug. 28.
The updated version — now with Bieber also as a featured act — continues the single’s rise as the latest crossover success for the Afrobeats genre.
With the gain, Wizkid secures his second top 10. He previously visited the region as a featured act, alongside Kyla, on Drake’s “One Dance,” which was No. 1 for a then-record-tying 18 weeks in 2016. Tems earns her first top 10 upon her first appearance on the chart.
