‘Essence’, Wizkid’s song with Tems has debuted at no 82 on Billboards Hot 100 chart.
Reports say Billboard broke the news in a tweet on Monday.
Hot 100 rankings are based on sales (physical and digital), radio play, and online streaming in the United States.
The tweet also mentions that it earns Tems her first career entry on the chart.
‘Essence’ is one of the tracks of ‘Made In Lagos’, Wizkid’s last studio album released in October last year.
The song is on number 17 on Apple Music USA Chart, and on number 14 on the same chart for Nigeria.
