Wizkid’s ‘Dance’ returns to Apple Music Top 100 after disappearing for 7 hours
On November 18, 2024, fans were shocked to find that Wizkid’s latest single, ‘Dance,’ had vanished from the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100, just hours after it had secured the top spot.
However, after nearly seven hours, the track reappeared at No. 1, leading to speculation about the cause of its brief absence.
The sudden removal and subsequent return of ‘Dance‘ has sparked discussions about possible penalties for streaming manipulation. Apple Music, known for cracking down on suspected chart manipulation, typically removes songs and deducts streams before allowing them to return to their original positions—provided the song has not been manipulated.
Precedent suggests that ‘Dance‘ might have been subject to such scrutiny, as it remained popular enough to reclaim the top spot.
However, some fans have speculated that the disappearance could have been the result of a technical glitch on Apple Music’s part.
Despite the ongoing debate, there is no conclusive evidence to confirm either explanation, leaving the true reason for the song’s temporary removal uncertain.
This incident has only fueled further anticipation for Wizkid’s upcoming album, ‘Morayo,’ which is set for release on November 22, 2024, as fans remain eager to see what the global music star will offer next.
