Nigerian artist Burna Boy achieved a major Billboard milestone this week, reaching number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The ranking comes from his feature on Gunna’s track WGFT, boosted by a remix featuring Chris Brown.
The accomplishment makes Burna Boy the first African artist to debut a song on the Hot 100 for five consecutive years, spanning 2021 to 2025.
Billboard analysts noted:
“Burna Boy’s consistent presence on the Hot 100 underscores the global reach of Afrobeats and the artist’s growing influence in the U.S. market.”
The new peak highlights Burna Boy’s ability to cross genres and markets while maintaining a strong presence on international charts.
This achievement further cements his status as one of Africa’s most commercially successful and globally recognized artists.
