Essence is Certified Gold in the US!
Wizkid is unstoppable and his strings of accolades are reminders that the Afrobeat singer is a superstar. With ”Essence”, his groundbreaking single Featuring Tems, off the Made in Lagos Album, both singers continue to make a mark in the global music industry.
“Essence” has again received another recognition, this time firing up the music scene by being certified Gold in the United States. It went gold on the 2nd of September 2021 after selling an equivalent of 500,000 copies, including both streaming equivalent and physical sales.
This is another milestone recorded by both artists and it is no mean feat. “Essence” recently became the most searched song on a music search platform, Shazam in the US by climbing 28 places, from 44.

Wizkid is a force to reckon with in the global music landscape.
Congratulations superstars, we are rooting for more wins.
