Ghana’s music industry has received a significant boost as R2Bees’ 2009 hit single “Kiss Your Hand” featuring Nigerian star Wande Coal has been ranked the best Ghanaian Afrobeats song of all time. The song, which marked R2Bees’ breakthrough outside Ghana, has stood the test of time and remains a crowd-pleaser across Africa.
The ranking was done by Billboard staffers who considered factors such as stylistic representation of the genre, local popularity, regional expansion, cultural impact, and commercial success. “Kiss Your Hand” was not only a hit in Ghana but also elevated Wande Coal’s profile after his success with “Bumper to Bumper”
