K.O sets a new record after ‘Sete’ takes the top spot for the 12th week in a row

At this point, I believe it is safe to declare K.O’s single “Sete,” featuring Young Stunna and Blxckie, to be the song of the year.

The single has broken nearly every record imaginable since its release three months ago.

Its most recent achievement was announced on Friday, November 25, when Sony Music Africa issued a press release announcing that the single had once again topped Radio Monitor’s airplay chart, setting a new record of 12 weeks at the top.

Radio Monitor is a popular system that tracks when, where, and how many times a song is played on all qualifying radio stations in the United States.

“Today, ‘Sete’ has broken the Radio Monitor record by being the first song (local or international) occupying the number 1 spot for 12 consecutive weeks since the airplay monitoring company’s inception in 2015,” read the press release.

“The momentous success of ‘Sete’ saw the single dominate official charts, radio airwaves and playlists, gaining over 4 000 plays on 88 radio stations across South Africa with more than 400 million impressions,” it said.

Previously, K.O was the first local artist to reach 10 million streams in two months with a single.

The music video for “Sete” was also the fastest local video to reach 15 million views, reaching the mark in just two months. The video was also the first to reach five and ten million views.

K.O expressed his delight at the latest achievement by saying, “Yezuur, thank you so much to the Sony Team and of course my team. Thank you to Stunna, Blxckie and all the contributors.

“Today is a monumental day, receiving a plaque for 10 million streams was something I didn’t foresee coming. I also want to share an encouraging message to the upcoming artists out there: don’t ever give up on yourself, keep doing what you love and put God first. Bless!”
