 Moroccan singer Dystinct enters Guinness World Records

 
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.
 
Meanwhile, Yema continues to perform strongly, extending its run on the charts to a 19th consecutive week and further boosting Dystinct's record-breaking performance on the Hot 100.
 
The achievement comes amid the Moroccan artist's growing international success. Born in Belgium to Moroccan parents, Dystinct has built a wide audience across the Arab world by blending multiple musical influences and dialects.   - (ANA) -
