Tems Becomes First African Female with 7 Billboard Hot 100 Entries

-


Nigerian superstar Tems (Temilade Openiyi) has officially become the first African female artist to secure seven entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

This historic milestone was reached on February 10, 2026, when her song "What You Need" debuted at number 93 on the chart. With this seventh entry, Tems is now tied with fellow Nigerian artist Burna Boy and the South African band Seether for the most Billboard Hot 100 appearances by any African act.

Tems' Billboard Hot 100 Entries

Her record-breaking run includes the following tracks:

"Wait For U" (with Future & Drake) – Debuted at No. 1, making her the first African artist to do so.

"Essence" (with Wizkid & Justin Bieber) – Peaked at No. 9.

"Fountains" (with Drake).

"Free Mind" – A solo entry that broke records for longevity on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.

"Move" (with Beyoncé & Grace Jones).

"Raindance" (with Dave).

"What You Need" – The latest entry as of February 2026.

Tems is expected to claim the sole record for most entries as early as next week, with the predicted debut of "Bunce Road Blues" (a collaboration with J. Cole and Future). 

This achievement follows her recent success at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, where she won Best African Music Performance for "Love Me JeJe," becoming the first Nigerian artist with multiple Grammys.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
