Drake’s global smash hit “One Dance”, featuring Nigerian superstar Wizkid and British singer Kyla, has officially been certified Diamond in Germany, having sold over 1.5 million units in the country.
This latest milestone makes Germany the sixth country where “One Dance” has earned a Diamond certification, further cementing the song’s status as one of the biggest global hits of the last decade.
Originally released in 2016, “One Dance” was a cultural moment that not only dominated the charts but also played a pivotal role in introducing Afrobeats to a broader international audience. The song made history by becoming Drake’s first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist and Wizkid’s first entry on the chart, ushering him into the global spotlight.
Since then, “One Dance” has achieved Diamond status in multiple markets, including the United States and France, and continues to rack up accolades nearly a decade after its release.
For Wizkid, the recognition in Germany marks yet another high point in an already historic run, as he continues to break records and raise the bar for African artists on the global stage.
As streaming continues to drive music consumption worldwide, the enduring success of “One Dance” is a testament to the power of cross-cultural collaboration and the global appeal of Afro-influenced sounds.
With over six Diamond plaques to its name and still counting, “One Dance” is not just a hit, it’s a phenomenon.
