Ugandan music sensation John Blaq continues to make significant strides on the African music scene as his hit single “Commander” becomes the second Ugandan song to feature on Nigeria’s Streams Countdown charts. This milestone follows the path paved by BigTril’s viral hit “Party After Party,” which previously gained massive traction in Nigeria.
“Commander,” produced by B.I.T. and visually brought to life by Zyga Phix of Virtual Media, premiered over a year ago on May 3, 2024. The song’s catchy whistle intro quickly went viral on social media platforms like TikTok, where it inspired numerous dance and lip-sync videos, boosting its popularity across the continent.
The track’s growing presence on streaming platforms in Nigeria highlights Uganda’s expanding musical footprint and John Blaq’s rising influence beyond East Africa. With over 300,000 plays on various platforms, “Commander” is solidifying John Blaq’s position as a cross-border Afrobeat star.
