Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy keeps making waves worldwide with another big achievement. He recently earned a new platinum certification from SNEP, the official French music chart, for his feature on Coldplay’s song “We Pray.” This track, which also includes Little Simz, Elyanna, and Tini, came out in 2024 as part of Coldplay’s album Moon Music.
This platinum certification is Burna Boy’s 10th song to reach this milestone in France. It adds to the success of his earlier hits like “City Boy,” which also went platinum. His achievements in France show how much he is loved outside Nigeria. Burna Boy made history there by selling out the 80,000-seat Stade De France. He also became the first artist on the cover of Billboard France Magazine.
His list of French certifications is impressive. It includes diamond plaques for “Last Last” and “On The Low.” He also has platinum records for “Gbona,” “YE,” and “City Boy.” Other songs like “Alone,” “For My Hand” featuring Ed Sheeran, and “Anybody” earned gold certifications. Burna Boy also got a platinum plaque for the song “Donne-Moi L’accord,” a collaboration with French artist Dadju.
Burna Boy is getting ready to release his eighth album in 2025, titled No Sign of Weakness. So far, he has released five singles from the album. The latest is “Tatata,” a Brazilian funk fusion featuring American rapper Travis Scott. Burna Boy hopes to keep his success going after earning four Grammy nominations for his last four albums.
Besides his many awards, Burna Boy is the first Nigerian artist to have three albums each reach over 500 million streams on Spotify. This proves how much fans all over the world enjoy his music. His mix of Afrobeat and global sounds continues to win over new listeners everywhere.
