This historic accomplishment follows the debut of the track “We Pray,” a collaboration featuring Coldplay, Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, and Tini Stoessel, which entered the chart at No. 87 this week.
With this latest entry, Burna Boy has now amassed a total of six Billboard Hot 100 entries, surpassing Tems, who holds five. This places him ahead of Wizkid, the pioneering Nigerian artist on the chart with four entries.
Other prominent Nigerian artists such as Rema, CKay, Fireboy, Davido, and Lojay each have one entry on this prestigious chart.
Burna Boy is now just one song shy of breaking the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 entries by an African artist, currently held by South African rock band Seether.
In related news, Burna Boy has also etched his name in history as the first African artist to sell out the iconic London Stadium twice. The venue, which can accommodate between 60,000 and 80,000 fans, was nearly full as eager attendees gathered to witness Burna Boy’s electrifying performance.
This remarkable achievement is part of his ongoing world tour, following the release of his critically acclaimed album “I Told Them.”
