He explained that when Buga was released, it stayed at the top of the charts for the longest time in Ghana as compared to other African countries.

“Buga stayed at number 1 in Ghana the longest, out of all the African countries. So I was like 'big love to Ghana,' Kizz Daniel said.

The Buga song, which currently has over 91 million views on YouTube, over a 100 million streams on Boomplay, enjoyed massive airplay in Ghana and was streamed by millions of Ghanaians.

The newly released Cough is equally doing very well on music streaming platforms and a trending on TikTok.
