British rapper Dave and Nigerian superstar Tems have made a strong entry on the global charts as their collaboration “Rain Dance” debuts at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking a major milestone for both artists. The debut reflects the growing international appetite for genre-blending records that fuse hip-hop, Afrobeats, and soulful melodies, a space both artists have mastered in recent years.

“Rain Dance” has been steadily gaining momentum across streaming platforms since its release, with fans praising the chemistry between Dave’s introspective lyricism and Tems’ ethereal vocals. The song’s chart entry signals not just strong streaming numbers, but also its crossover appeal in the highly competitive U.S. market, where breaking into the Hot 100 remains a significant achievement.

For Tems, the debut adds to her expanding Billboard history and reinforces her position as one of Africa’s most impactful global exports. Her ability to seamlessly collaborate with international acts while retaining her unique sound continues to open new doors for African music worldwide. Dave, on the other hand, extends his global reach beyond the UK, further cementing his reputation as one of the most versatile rappers of his generation.

The Hot 100 debut has sparked excitement among fans, many of whom believe “Rain Dance” could climb higher in the coming weeks as radio play and playlist support grow. Beyond chart numbers, the moment represents a cultural win,  a collaboration that bridges continents and showcases how global music continues to evolve without borders.

With “Rain Dance” officially charting in the United States, Dave and Tems have proven once again that powerful collaborations and authentic artistry can resonate far beyond home markets, setting the stage for even bigger global moments ahead.
