The Nigerian artist’s collaboration with MC Rd and DJ Biel Bolado climbs from No. 3 to No. 1 in four days, marking a new global discovery moment beyond his Afrobeats roots.
LAGOS, NIGERIA | 21 OCTOBER 2026, Nigerian recording artist Dice Ailes has reached No. 1 on Soundcharts’ Global TikTok Chart with “Godzilla (Phunk),” his collaboration with MC Rd and DJ Biel Bolado. According to Soundcharts’ chart dated October 21, the track is the platform’s top-ranked TikTok sound globally.
The achievement follows a rapid climb up the rankings. “Godzilla (Phunk)” debuted at No. 3 on October 17, moved to No. 2 on October 19, and secured the top position on October 21.
Beyond the chart milestone, the record signals a new chapter in Dice Ailes’ evolving sound. Known for records such as “Otedola,” “Miracle” and “Ella,” the Nigerian artist has built a catalogue within contemporary African pop while maintaining a willingness to experiment with new sounds and creative directions.
With “Godzilla (Phunk),” that experimentation has taken him into phonk, a genre rooted in hip-hop influences and known for its distinctive production and strong presence across short-form video platforms. The track’s rise on Soundcharts’ global ranking introduces Dice Ailes to audiences who may be discovering his music for the first time through TikTok.
“Seeing a different sound travel this far is special. I’ve always wanted the freedom to explore without losing who I am as an artist. Godzilla is another part of that journey,” says Dice Ailes.
The next phase of the campaign will focus on turning the track’s growing visibility into wider recognition for the artist. Through targeted creator activity and audience-led activations in Nigeria and international markets where the sound is gaining traction, the campaign aims to connect listeners with Dice Ailes’ wider catalogue, official artist profiles and future releases.
For the artist, the milestone represents more than a viral moment. It offers an opportunity to introduce a new audience to his creative identity and demonstrate how experimentation can open fresh pathways for Nigerian music on the global stage.
As “Godzilla (Phunk)” continues to travel across TikTok, the focus is now on extending that momentum beyond the sound itself and building a lasting connection between new listeners and Dice Ailes.
