Tems continues to make history as her debut album, Born in the Wild, becomes the first-ever project by a Nigerian female act to spend 90 weeks on the Billboard World Albums chart.
This milestone highlights the album’s remarkable longevity and global impact. Since its release, Born in the Wild has consistently resonated with listeners around the world, maintaining steady performance week after week—an achievement that speaks to both its quality and Tems’ growing international influence.
The project showcases Tems’ signature blend of soulful vocals, introspective songwriting, and atmospheric production. These elements have helped the album age gracefully, continuing to attract new listeners while remaining a favorite among existing fans.
