Ghanaian music duo R2Bees have fresh reason to celebrate as renewed attention around their track “Over” continues to gather momentum years after its release. Nearly a decade on, the song has surged to the top of the Official UK Afrobeats Chart.
The track had already been gaining ground on the chart in recent weeks. It sat at number two the previous week before finally pushing its way to the number one position in the latest ranking. Its steady climb reflects the song’s growing streaming numbers and sustained popularity among Afrobeats listeners in the United Kingdom and beyond.
Another striking detail about the song’s resurgence is its longevity on the chart. “Over” has now spent 11 consecutive weeks on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart, an impressive run for a record that first came out several years ago. The achievement highlights how the track has found a new generation of listeners while continuing to resonate with longtime fans.
The song was produced by Killbeatz and was originally released on September 20, 2017. For a song from that era to return and claim the number one spot in 2026 emphasises its enduring appeal and the lasting influence of R2Bees within the Afrobeats scene.
In Ghana, the news has been met with excitement across the music community. Fans, fellow musicians, and industry figures have taken to social media and other platforms to congratulate the duo, celebrating the moment as another sign of Ghanaian music’s continued global reach.
