Burna Boy Makes History on Apple Music Global Chart

Burna Boy has achieved a significant milestone by reaching the summit of the Apple Music Global 100 chart, making him the second Nigerian artist to do so. This accomplishment follows the global success of his collaboration with Tems, which gained traction after their performance at the inaugural World Cup Half-Time Show.
The song's success is further highlighted by its status as the official anthem for the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Burna Boy's performance at the World Cup marked him as the first African artist to perform at both the opening ceremony and halftime show.
Additionally, he has been recognized as the best-selling African artist of all time, with 14.46 million equivalent album sales according to Chartmaster. His commercial success includes multiple records for highest-grossing tours and concerts across various locations.
