The song was digitally released on YouTube 2 years ago, and its growth has created a new bar for South African music and African music in general. According to Spotify data, Master KG’s album Jerusalema, featuring this hit, has reached over 300 million streams.
Beginning of this year Burna Boy was reportedly the African record holder on Spotify for having 100 million streams on three of his albums, according to this Master KG has broken the record and has raised the bar even higher for African music in general.
