Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
The collaborative firepower of Blaqbonez and Asake continues to prove unstoppable as their infectious single “Chanel” cements its place on the global music radar. The track has climbed to No. 54 on the Worldwide Shazam Top Songs Chart while simultaneously breaking into the UK Shazam Top 200 at No. 198—a clear signal that this Afrobeats anthem is resonating far beyond African shores.
Shazam success tells a unique story in today’s music landscape. When listeners around the world pull out their phones to identify a song, it speaks to organic discovery and genuine intrigue. “Chanel” earning these positions reflects real-time curiosity from audiences encountering the track in clubs, on social media, or through word-of-mouth—the kind of grassroots momentum that can’t be manufactured. The song’s infectious Afrobeats groove, paired with the undeniable chemistry between Blaqbonez’s sharp delivery and Asake’s signature melodic touch, has created something that demands attention.
The UK chart entry is particularly significant, as the region remains one of the most critical markets for Afrobeats expansion outside Africa. For “Chanel” to break into the UK’s Top 200 most-searched songs demonstrates the genre’s deepening foothold in international territories. Combined with its impressive global ranking, the track is making a strong case as one of the year’s breakthrough Afrobeats collaborations. Both artists have been riding high on their respective waves of success, and this partnership proves that when two forces in the game unite, the results speak for themselves.
As “Chanel” continues gaining traction across streaming platforms and charts worldwide, Blaqbonez and Asake are showing the industry exactly what happens when talent meets timing. The Shazam numbers are just the latest chapter in what’s shaping up to be a defining moment for both artists.
