Rema and Selena Gomez Lead The US Afrobeats' Biggest Songs For 2022

217 songs charted on Billboard’s Afrobeats U.S.
chart and many of them, like Last Last by Burna
Boy, Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez and
Essence by Wizkid, Justin Bieber and Tems swung over to the Hot
100 pop charts. For those who say Afrobeats is having a moment
like Kranium in a Fix interview, that moment just won’t let up as
the songs get better and the artists break more records in the
U.S., while dancehall’s usual U.S. airplay picks have not been
forthcoming since Koffee’s Toast in 2020.
