Nearly nine years after its debut, the song “Over” by Ghanaian duo R2Bees has found new life on the international stage, climbing all the way to the top of the Official UK Afrobeats Chart.
The track’s rise has been gradual but steady. In the previous chart week, “Over” occupied the second spot, already signaling strong momentum. The latest ranking, however, saw it move one place higher to claim the number one position, reflecting the surge in streams and renewed interest among Afrobeats audiences across the United Kingdom and other markets.
Beyond reaching the summit, the song’s staying power on the chart has also drawn attention. “Over” has now spent 11 straight weeks on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart, a notable feat for a record that first surfaced years ago. The performance suggests the track continues to resonate widely, appealing both to longtime followers of R2Bees and listeners discovering the song for the first time.
Produced by Killbeatz, the song was originally released on September 20, 2017. Its ability to return to prominence in 2026 and secure the top spot highlights the lasting impact of the duo’s catalog and the enduring pull of their sound within the Afrobeats landscape.
News of the chart achievement has sparked excitement in Ghana’s music circles. Fans, fellow artistes, and figures within the industry have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the duo, hailing the moment as another example of Ghanaian music making a strong impression on the global stage.
