BRUSSELS, 12 June. - (ANA) - Moroccan singer and rapper Dystinct has entered the Guinness World Records after setting a new milestone on the Billboard Arabia charts.

 

The record was awarded after his songs La and Yema spent a combined 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Arabia Hot 100, giving Dystinct the longest cumulative run at the top of the chart by a single artist, according to Billboard Arabia.

 

Released as part of his album Layali, La has enjoyed exceptional longevity, remaining on Billboard Arabia charts for 128 consecutive weeks since its release. The track has become one of the longest-charting Arabic songs since the rankings were launched.
