The Afrobeats anthem clinches Oceania gold, adding to their growing international legacy

Wizkid’s Mood featuring BNXN just added another shiny accolade to its journey, it’s officially certified Gold in New Zealand. Recorded Music NZ confirmed that the track hit the threshold, combining sales and streams to reach gold status in the market.

This marks a major moment: it’s Wizkid’s 6th Gold certification in New Zealand and BNXN’s 2nd. The duo are stacking milestones while the world listens.

Mood is no new release, it’s part of Made In Lagos (Deluxe Edition), but its shelf life continues to impress. The certification speaks to sustained global appeal rather than just a viral spike.

New Zealand’s music market is a different beast. If you can break into that space and turn streams into certified units, you’ve truly traversed continents. Wizkid and BNXN are doing more than crossing borders, they’re embedding Afrobeats deep into them.

In Wizkid’s home pantheon, he’s already legendary. Hits like Essence, Ojuelegba, and collaborations across the globe already cemented his place. But Mood (Gold in NZ) underlines how songs can grow (not just debut) and still conquer.

For BNXN, this is further proof that his rise isn’t hype, it’s trajectory. Mood pushes his name into more playlists, more countries, and more ears. Celebrate this. Stream it again. Because Mood just went gold in Aotearoa and that’s another flag planted for Afrobeats’ expansion.
