This accomplishment ties Burna Boy with fellow Nigerian artist and producer Tems, marking them as the African artists with the most charting songs in Billboard Hot 100 history. Burna Boy now boasts a remarkable five charting songs, including ‘Taliban II’ featuring Bryson Messia, ‘Loved by You,’ ‘Sittin’ on Top of the World’ featuring 21 Savage, ‘Last Last,’ and the latest addition, ‘Just Like Me.’
Notably, Burna Boy’s inclusion on the Billboard Hot 100 further cements his legacy as the first Nigerian artist to receive the highest number of Grammy nominations, totaling an impressive ten nominations—an unprecedented achievement. Additionally, he has secured a groundbreaking performance slot at the live Grammys show scheduled for February 5, 2024, making him the first African artist to grace the prestigious stage.
Adding to his triumphs, Burna Boy’s ‘Do I’ remix with Phyno currently holds the coveted position of the number #1 song on Apple Music NG, further showcasing the artist’s undeniable impact and widespread acclaim.
