Fans of Afrobeats star Wizkid were left stunned on Monday, November 18, 2024, after his latest single, Dance, vanished from the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 chart.
The track, which debuted at No. 1 shortly after its release on November 15, was the second single from his upcoming album Morayo.
The unexpected disappearance has ignited debates online, with many speculating about possible reasons. Some fans suggest that the removal might be a technical glitch, while others suspect a penalty for streaming manipulation, a practice Apple Music has cracked down on in recent times.
By industry standards, deductions of this nature often point to irregularities in streaming numbers, but official confirmation from Apple Music remains pending.
Dance had enjoyed massive success since its release, topping charts and fueling anticipation for Wizkid’s next project. Fans are now waiting to see if the track will return to the charts, which could indicate a temporary glitch, or if Apple’s measures against stream farming are responsible for this unprecedented move.
