Kwesi Arthur Makes Notable Return To Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Chart

Ghanaian rapper and songwriter, Kwesi Arthur, has recorded another significant milestone on the international stage, securing a fresh entry on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart, further strengthening his growing global profile.

His latest release, YAWA (HOSANNA), has officially debuted at No. 38 on the chart, marking a confirmed Billboard appearance and reinforcing the song’s strong reception among global audiences. The charting reflects increasing international engagement with Ghanaian hip-hop and Afrobeats-influenced rap.

In addition to YAWA (HOSANNA), industry reports and social media updates circulating online suggest that Kwesi Arthur’s track DRAMA, has also appeared on the U.S. Afrobeats chart at No. 39. While this second placement is yet to be independently verified through Billboard’s publicly accessible listings, the reports point to a potentially strong week for the artiste on the platform.

If confirmed, the dual chart presence would represent Kwesi Arthur’s second career entry on Billboard, placing him among a select group of Ghanaian rappers to achieve multiple appearances on the U.S. Afrobeats chart. Music observers have also highlighted the achievement as a notable moment for Ghana’s hip-hop scene, reflecting its expanding reach beyond the continent.

Kwesi Arthur’s latest chart performance underscores the continued global traction of Ghanaian artistes, as Afrobeats and African-inspired sounds gain sustained recognition in international markets. With growing streaming numbers and increasing visibility, his Billboard momentum signals a promising trajectory for both his career and the broader Ghanaian music industry.

As official chart updates continue to roll in, fans and industry stakeholders alike will be watching closely to see how long the records maintain their positions and what this means for Ghanaian hip-hop’s evolving presence on the world stage.
