Ghanaian musician Black Sherif has achieved another major milestone, earning a spot on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart with his latest release, Lord I’m Amazed.
The powerful track debuted at the 10th position less than a month after its release, sparking excitement among fans worldwide.
Released on January 9—coinciding with the artist’s 23rd birthday—Lord I’m Amazed has been described by Black Sherif as more than just music.
In a statement, he referred to it as his “prayer, gratitude, and testimony wrapped in melody,” inviting listeners to share in his awe and thankfulness.
The song, which serves as a precursor to his highly anticipated sophomore album Iron Boy, has resonated deeply with fans. Within just two weeks, it secured a spot on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart, joining the ranks of hits like Davido and YG Marley’s Awuke.
This isn’t Black Sherif’s first brush with international chart success. In 2022, his breakout hit Kwaku The Traveller soared to the second position, solidifying his place as a global force in music.
