In just over three months, the singer and dancer managed to reach a whopping 2.3 million YouTube views on the music video of her hit track Wololo, making history as the first artist to do so in the local music industry.
Following hot on the heels of Babes are Joyous Celebration and Nathi, who each boast 1.9 million and 1.4 million YouTube views for Halleluya Nkateko and Nomvula respectively.
Speaking to Sowetan LIVE, an excited Babes said that she is grateful for the mammoth support from her fans.
"I'm grateful for the overwhelming support. Can't wait to drop the album in October, because people are waiting for it and I can't wait to see all my supporters at my shows," she said.
Her manager, Victor Dlokolo added: "We are celebrating. It's a milestone she achieved in such a short space of time. It shows how people are interested in the brand. After a long time, South Africans have an authentically local talent they can celebrate."
While fans weren't hesitant to welcome Wololo upon its release, that was hardly the case for Babes' second single Mercedes, which was criticised for making reference to a 'killer drug' being used in KZN.
