In another historic achievement, Fireboy’s ‘Peru’ has now received the highest certification for a song in France.
Boosted by a remix featuring British superstar Ed Sheeran, the ‘Peru’ remix flew to global success, charting in over 20 countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 (where it peaked at No. 53), the UK Official Singles Chart (where it peaked at No. 2), and France (where it reached No. 28).
‘Peru’ has also received more than 450 million Spotify streams in both versions. It has gotten a gold plaque in Denmark, has gone 2X platinum in the United Kingdom, and is one of the Afrobeats tracks with an RIAA platinum plaque.
‘Peru’, one of the songs of Fireboy’s third album, ‘Playboy,’ propelled him to worldwide fame, earning him a BET nomination and a performance at the 2022 edition.
Fireboy’s global ascension has continued with the recent release of his fourth album, “Adedamola,” which has major guest performances from Lagbaja, Grammy nominee Seun Kuti, Lojay, and Grammy Album of the Year winner Jon Baptiste.
With its diamond certification in France, ‘Peru’ joins Oxlade’s ‘Kulosa’, Ayra Starr’s ‘Rush’, Burna Boy’s ‘On The Low’, and Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ as Nigerian songs with SNEP diamond certification.
