The popular song “Djadja” by French-Malian singer-songwriter Aya Nakamura has received over 1 billion views on YouTube, which is a remarkable accomplishment for her career. She is now the platform’s first female African artist to achieve this view count.
Released on April 6, 2018, “Djadja” immediately became well-known worldwide and peaked at the top of several charts. Notably, since Édith Piaf’s “Non, je ne regrette rien” in 1961, it was the first French-language song by a female artist to top the Dutch charts.
Aya Nakamura’s status as a major player in the international music scene is cemented by this milestone, which also highlights the song “Djadja”‘s widespread appeal.
