If anyone watched the games at the Olympics mostly the basketball games, Oliver twist song was the main song during these games. Dbanj has made ASCAP money. That is residual money for as many times the song is played anywhere in th world. I mean developed world. That is the reason why a lot of old singers still survive well today.

It's not about which one you prefer and which one is boring. Here's the OP's question again "African Queen Or Oliver Twist: Which Song Is More Internationally Acclaimed?)"

^^^Fair enough....lemme rephrase my answer then: Oliver Twist has much more 'international acclaim' than the boring African Queen.

Happy now!? undecided

ifihearam: Whoever says its african queen needs his/her head examined. Pure bad belle.

Don't compare Dbanj to 2face,dem nor be mate for anything abeg,koko master don go,he leads for others to follow just like AY in the comedy industry.
From your comment you know nothing of music and commedy.
Even D'bang knows Tuface is better and apart from being able to pull other comedians to make a mighty show of himself AY is the wackest comedian i can think of right now.

I think we need to take into consideration some underlying factors here! The hype machine behind both artiste were different at that time (Kanye and Kennis nor be mate!)

This not withstanding, African Queen went on to hold its own even in international media/circle. If I'm not mistaken, it was the soundtrack for (phat girlz) one film Monique featured in.

Also, whats the definition of being Internationally acclaimed?
Re: African Queen Or Oliver Twist: Which Song Is More Internationally Acclaimed? by purplebrown: 12:48pm On Mar 04, 2013

The definition is actually by billboard spot.

Unfortunately, oliver twist made the billboard spot of many European countries. African queen didn't.
Re: African Queen Or Oliver Twist: Which Song Is More Internationally Acclaimed? by emperorchedda(m): 1:14pm On Mar 04, 2013

Both songs are best of both world . Even though Oliver twist is more recognised , African Queen is ever green and will stand the test of time while Oliver twist is for the now.

Btw,who d fvck is monique in d entertainment world? Go to international movie database imdb.com and check d ratings for d crappy movie Phat girls. The sond 'danfo driver' was used in d movie too. Does that make it more internationally acclaimed than songs that have made to to uk top charts? De jst said no sentiment. De didn't ask which song is better.

Though D'banj's Oliver Twist May Be The Latest Recognized Song Internationaly, but know one thing... The Time African Queen was reigning, am not sure you can compare D'banj's Oliver Twist to 2face's African Queen because Only the name 'African Queen' should convince you and the language 2face used was English and Listeners understands it very well and they like it.

You Are Saying it's Oliver Twist Because thats the Present Song Reigning/Trending Everywhere - You may have forgotten the Time of African Queen And How Many Awards 2Face won with it.

NOTE: 2face Sang 'African Queen' in 2004 and D'banj Sang 'Oliver Twist' In 2012. Also 2face Has Won *Song of the year for " African Queen " 2004 Nigeria Entertainment Awards New York* and D'banj's Oliver Twist Has Not.

CHYKMAN: Undeniably, Oliver Twist beats African Queen hands down because of the difference in class and quality. Oliver Twist was SHOT ABROAD by an already POPULAR Nigerian Artiste, aided by an EUROPE-BASED outfit, headed by KANYE WEST.. Plus, the media strength now is much stronger than before.
