British rapper Dave has reached a major career milestone after his hit collaboration with Nigerian singer Tems, Raindance, became the longest-charting song by a UK rapper on the Billboard Hot 100.

The record-breaking track has now spent 22 weeks on the prestigious US chart, surpassing previous achievements by British rap artists and marking another international success for both musicians.

Released as the lead single from Dave's album The Boy Who Played the Harp, Raindance steadily gained momentum after entering the Billboard Hot 100 before climbing into the chart's top 50. The song also enjoyed commercial success in the United Kingdom, where it topped the UK Singles Chart.

The achievement further highlights Dave's growing influence beyond the UK while reinforcing Tems' reputation as one of Africa's most successful global music exports. The Grammy-winning singer has continued to earn international recognition through collaborations with some of the world's biggest artists.
