AKA the most played artist on radio stations

Kiernan Forbes, otherwise known as the 3RDWRLDBOSS, SUPAMEGA, AKA, has received his second BBC 1Xtra play listing for his single Baddest which is a first for South African music.

AKA’s Baddest features Burna Boy, Khuli Chana and Yanga. AKA’s All Eyes On Me featuring Burna Boy, Da L.E.S and JR, was his first single to get play listed on BBC 1Xtra earlier this year and to get a second single on rotation on BBC 1Xtra in the same year speaks volumes.

Both AKA’s Baddest and All Eyes On Me feature Nigeria’s Burna Boy, and have received play listing on radio stations all over East, West and Southern Africa.

AKA is officially the number #1 most played South African artist on all radio stations nationwide for 2015. AKA beats out the likes of Black Coffee, Micasa and KO locally, and internationally he beats the likes of Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd by 2 880 plays; making him the King of South African radio airwaves.

This is the second year in the row that AKA is in the Top 5.

This year the 3RDWRLDBOSS has had heavy rotations with tracks like All Eyes On Me and Sim Dope from his Gold Selling album LEVELS from 2014, and the new hits Composure and Baddest.
