Congratulations are in order for Zakes Bantwini after his chart-topping single Osama became the first and only single since RadioMonitor's establishment to retain the no 1 spot for 10 weeks in a row on SA radio charts.
RadioMonitor confirmed the milestone was inclusive of both international and local songs released in the past five years since the launch of the British music company.
Bantwini's Afro-electronic dance hit single featuring Kasango surpassed the record of songs like Prince Kaybee's Fetch Your Life and tunes by the American R&B duo Silk Sonic, which have had 12 non-consecutive weeks at no 1 on the RAMS chart.
When Mzansi first heard the Osama single after videos of Bantwini's live performance at Kunye were shared, they could not get enough, and many dubbed it their 2021 song of the year.
Since its release on September 10, many renowned DJs have been playing the song at venues across the world.
From Spain to Portugal, England, Switzerland and even Kenya, Bantwini has broken boundaries with the song and is set to make an even bigger impact with other singles from his album Ghetto King.
The musician has been vocal about continuing his mission to use music to unite Africa and the world.
