Nigerian singer, Skiibii has just been hailed by Top 50 Charts, a rating agency as his hit single, "Sensima" clocked 30 million views on YouTube after a year.

The hit song which is a second team-up with the Reekado Banks, after they both collaborated on "London," really did well on the music charts.

However, the release date of the song "Sensima" was adjudged to be around October 2018. While the video on YouTube video premiered exactly November 14, 2018, with 30,082,034 views at press time of writing this piece.



If the audio released for the hit single was dated in October 2018, then it wasn't after a year that the song clocked 30 million views. A simple google search says that the audio was released between 18-19 October 2018.



Going by the YouTube visuals premiere date, Skiibii's video is actually 1 year, five months old and not 1 year as Top Charts suggest. Top Charts is wrong on this one, even though we desperately want the rating agency to be right.



MyNigeria.com fact-check places Top chart's calculations wrong in this one. No hard feelings, Skiibii.
