Camidoh has made history with his hit song Sugarcane as it becomes the most viewed Ghanaian song on YouTube.
The original version of the song has garnered nearly 8 million views, while the remix featuring Mayorkun, King Promise, and Darkoo has amassed over 97 million views.
This remarkable achievement has pushed Sarkodie’s Adonai into second place. What makes Camidoh’s feat even more impressive is that Sugarcane was released in 2022, while Adonai was uploaded 9 years ago on YouTube.
Currently, the Sugarcane remix has 97,898,985 views, surpassing Adonai’s 97,519,515 views.
Furthermore, Sugarcane has also made history by topping the Nigerian Apple Music Hot 100 chart for a significant period.
Camidoh’s rapid rise to the top spot on YouTube showcases the global appeal of his music and the increasing influence of Ghanaian artists on the international stage.
Sugarcane is Camidoh’s biggest as it gained immense popularity after being featured in videos by Ghanaian TikTok creators, leading to a surge in online promotion.
The song reached number 5 on Shazam’s top 200 most searched Afropop songs and was later remixed with King Promise, Mayorkun, and Darkoo.
Within a month of its release, the collaboration topped Nigeria’s Top 100 Music Chart on Apple Music in the first week of May.
Camidoh’s success also earned him a nomination for ‘Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act’ at the 2023 Black Entertainment Television Awards, where he competes against a diverse range of international artists.
