Them nor be mate at all.Get the question the OP placed right.Both of them are good but Oliver twist is something else when talking about Internationally acclaimed.Its a virus in UK and countries like Greece,Romania and Bulgaria.In the biggest club in Washington DC called Ibiza that is the only African music played there and its an American club managed by Americans.Infact so many people in UK see Dbanj as a role model.He goes for community works there were he gives Elementary schools and High schools inspirational talks all these are the influence of the popularity of Oliver twist.That is not to say African queen is a push over but Oliver Twist.Infact Na only Kanye west go explain better wetin dey that Music.A simple visit to Youtube will tell you the score through the views and the comments.My bad so many people do use blackberry and can't access Youtube if not all this argument would have stopped.Don't mean no offense but its the fact 1 Like |

African Queen was the song that put Nigeria on the phucking map of world music, earned us our very first MTV Music Award, was featured in a Hollywood flick (the first of its kind at the time), and flagged off Nigeria's dominance of Africa in the entertainment industry, as well as her unstoppable rise on the World Stage. 13 Likes |

African queen rocks but oliver twist rocks more. Good beat, nice concept, has international content and take it or leave it its more listened nd recognised globally. |

Oliver twist is more internationally acclaimed. DEFINITELY NOT because it was a great song, but because it employed a viral marketing technique with its video dance competition. Viral videos are the new trend, and of course youtube wasn't even born when African queen was released. African queen managed to get some international acclaim only off its merits as a great song. Oliver Twist was practically shoved and r@ped into your ear with marketing until you sang along. So in a nutshell, Oliver Twist wins this battle but loses the war. African queen will remain with us as a classic long after Oliver Twist fades away. 11 Likes |

Red-Light:u don't know africa queen because the two songs are of different class,Africa queen came out around 2003/2004 while oliver twist came out may be 2 years ago,so if u say africa queen is not popular in europe now,of course is making waves now,but u can not compare the two song in term of popularity be it europe or anywhere in the world,beside do you know how many awards Africa queen got nomination for and won? My brother Africa queen is evergreen not even talk about million sold worldwide the recognisation of the song took it to foreign movie sound track,just flash back and recollect the popularity of Africa queen you see that no any Nigeria song has that.

It's like comparing club football in the 90s to what we have now...African players were popular and earned handsomely in the 90s but, what they earned back then is like chicken feed with what today's African players earn. George Weah won World best when football did not have much followership compared to Messi's time where it has become a tradition for everybody to be a fan of one international club or the other. But, the fact still remains that George Weah was a king during his time. To this, it will be unfair to compare two music that were not released the same time and also of different genres. Tuface's African Queen was a blockbuster both locally and internationally during its time though, might not gain much international recognition like Oliver twist did (Time factor). But the fact still remains that there's nothing to compare as far as these two songs are concerned. 1 Like |
