Wizkid and Brent Faiyaz‘s much-anticipated collaboration, Piece of My Heart, is making waves in the streaming world, vying for the record of the biggest debut week for a song by an African artist. The track, which blends Wizkid’s Afrobeats flair with Faiyaz’s smooth R&B touch, has captivated listeners globally and is setting up for an impressive debut.
Early streaming numbers suggest that Piece of My Heart could surpass the current record held by Asake and Travis Scott’s Active, which set a high bar for African music with its explosive release. In addition to competing with “Active,” the Wizkid-Brent Faiyaz collaboration has already overtaken Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran’s hit For My Hand, another massive success in African music’s global takeover.
The potential to break streaming records is a testament to Wizkid’s ever-growing global influence, particularly in the Afrobeats genre, as well as Brent Faiyaz’s appeal in both R&B and Afrobeats circles. With its infectious melody and widespread fan engagement, Piece of My Heart is poised to make history and could mark yet another milestone for African music in the global landscape.
