Five Burning Questions: Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ With Tems and Justin Bieber Hits Hot 100’s Top 10
1. “Essence” finally reaching the Hot 100’s top 10 in its 14th week in the chart feels like a big moment for not only the artists involved, but for Afrobeats as a global genre.

So, the fact that people were so late to the party on the album and “Essence” is beyond criminal. And in some respects, it’s even more disrespectful that so many needed a Bieber appearance for people to appreciate the richness of “Essence.” Either way, I think this record propelling into the national spotlight bodes well for a rising genre lookin...
