Ghanaian singer Gyakie’s latest single Sankofa has debuted on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Top 50 chart, marking her first appearance on the prestigious international list.
The song also ranks among the top five trending videos on YouTube in Ghana, further solidifying its local and global appeal.
Lifted from her upcoming debut album After Midnight, Sankofa has rapidly gained momentum since its release, amassing millions of streams across digital platforms.
This chart breakthrough adds to Gyakie’s growing international profile and further establishes her as one of Africa’s most dynamic female voices. Known for her genre-blending sound and lyrical depth, she continues to bridge cultures through her music.
The song’s vibrant visuals and empowering message have contributed to its viral success on YouTube, where it continues to resonate with fans.
With After Midnight expected later this year, Sankofa’s early success signals a strong start to what could become one of 2025’s most talked-about African music projects.
Sankofa is currently available on all major streaming platforms.
