MBABANE – Last week’s repeat of the SBIS chart show confirmed the duo of
Qibho and Sands as the new number one spot holders.
The duo’s track ‘Hole in her heart’ became a hit with many chart show
followers and became their first collaborative chartbuster. The song is expected
to be part of their upcoming project; Kingdom Stories album.
“I first heard this song during a live performance Qibho and Sands rendered in
one of the Rooted Souls poetry sessions and I knew instantly that it was going
to be huge when it finally reach radio,” revealed Bongani ‘Dj Tizalami’
Dube.
Bongani ‘Bobo’ Dlamini confirmed that the song was currently one of the most
requested songs on radio.
Melodious
“The two, as you may know, use a live band and that paradigm shift in sound
from computer generated sounds to live, Qibho’s usual stimulating lyrical
content and style, coupled with the melodious voice of Sands, has surely earned
the duo a place in the unwritten history of our music industry,” said Bobo.
As much as ‘Hole in her heart’ becomes the duo’s first number one song,
Qibho Intalektual has earned himself the top spot with several tracks in the
past. These include ‘Asesibatsatse’, ‘Eita Dah’, ‘Shaya ngatsi
awuboni’, ‘Live’, ‘Imilayeto’, ‘Infinite, Eternal, and
‘Forevermore’, among others.
Big
The new track with Sands makes him the artist with the most number one songs
ever on the chart show, one ahead of another big artist, Diba Diba.
Meanwhile, sensational songbird Amanda Mo, who is scheduled to perform at House
on Fire on her debut Sibebe Friday Night Live on March 28 2014, played at number
10 with ‘Us’.  DJ Peace was at number eight with ‘Me for you’, taken
from his newly released album ‘The Masterpiece’. Diba Diba’s catchy
‘Lomakhaya’ track, and NR collaboration, moved a notch up from six to five.
The chart show plays every Friday at 10.30am and repeats at 8pm on Saturday on
