On January 16, 2021, Nigerian singer and YBNL act, Fireboy recently saw his song, ‘Peru (Remix),’ which features Grammy-winning English superstar, Ed Sheeran hit No. 1 on the UK Apple Music charts.
The record currently tops ‘Easy On Me’ by Adele. This comes after the record has been making waves across the world: it currently sits at No. 6 on the UK Singles Charts. It has also charted on the Rhythmic Radio Charts in the US. Its video currently has 19m views on YouTube.
“It has been a dream knowing Ed Sheeran is a fan of my sound and having him jump on a song that was inspired by me traveling the world,” Fireboy DML remarked in a press release. “Not only is this an exciting moment for me, but also for Afrobeats. I hope this is the first of many collaborations with Ed and other artists around the globe, and I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy this song during the holidays.”
Last year, Fireboy DML released his breakout sophomore album Apollo. He’s since stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform a special medley and teamed up with D Smoke for the single “Champion.”
Fireboy DML will embark on his first U.S. headlining tour early next year. The Apollo Tour kicks off on February 3 in Providence, Rhode Island and sees him performing in major cities before wrapping up on February 28 in Seattle, Washington.
