After the release of his debut album OFA, Nigeria’s very own Oxlade has gone on to set a new record for himself. Oxlade took the world by storm with his 2022 hit single ‘Kulosa’ which went viral and rocketed him to international fame. Two years after its release, ‘Kulosa’ has been declared gold in the United States after reaching 500,000 units in sales.
The record, also one of the most successful Colors Studio performances of all time enjoyed huge commercial success with over 400 million Spotify streams and over 187 million YouTube views across two music videos.The song was a big success in the United States where it spent months on the Billboard Afrobeats Chart reaching a NO. 5 peak position.
‘Kulosa’ becomes Oxlade’s first song to receive an RIAA plaque in a trend that has seen the record earn certifications in France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland.
The record is one of the led singles off his album and seems to e gaining new traction. Kulosa tells the story of a young boy in love and willing to do anything to prove it and that has been the persona we now know Oxlade by. The album ‘Oxlade From Africa’ had guest appearances from Nigerian stars Wande Coal and Flavour, Ugandan musician and politician Bobi Wine, Congolese star Fally Ipupa, and Jamaican star Popcaan.
Oxlade joins the list of Nigerian artists with RIAA certifications with CKay’s 7X platinum hit single ‘Love Nwantiti’ leading the race for Afrobeats’ first Diamond song.
