Roseline Layo: “Bara” ranks 14 on YouTube in Côte d’Ivoire, 3 in Senegal
Roseline Layo’s new single "Bara" makes its debut in the weekly YouTube Top 15 in Côte d’Ivoire, while also securing a spot on the podium in Senegal.

Roseline Layo adds another strong signal to her musical comeback. Her single “Bara” debuts at 14 place on the weekly YouTube chart in Côte d’Ivoire for the week ending 3 September 2026, with 228,082 streams recorded.
The momentum crosses Ivorian borders. On the latest available daily chart in Senegal, dated 6 September, “Bara” holds the 3 position with 215,630 streams counted over the two days tracked by the chart.
Released on 31 July 2026, the track runs about 2 minutes 26. Streaming platforms credit Light Event, with distribution handled by Sony Music Entertainment Africa FR. The official video was then uploaded at the end of August.
With “Bara,” Roseline Layo stays in a popular and straightforward style. The title is based on the Nouchi word “bara,” used to refer to work, and carries a message about effort, independence, and contribution within a couple.
The entry into the Ivorian Top 15 comes as Roseline Layo already enjoys strong regional exposure. Her 3 place in Senegal shows the track is also finding an audience beyond her home market, just weeks after its release.
