Burna Boy Breaks Record with Ninth Billboard Hot 100 Entry
Burna Boy has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first African artist to secure nine entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, breaking a tie with fellow Nigerian artist Tems, who previously held the record with eight entries. His latest entry, "Dai Dai," a collaboration with Colombian singer Shakira, debuted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
This achievement marks Burna Boy's continued success, as he has now charted at least one song on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive years. His previous entries in the chart include "Love" (2021), "Last Last" (2022), "Sittin' on Top of the World" (2023), "Just Prai" (2024), and "WGFT" (2025).
The performance of "Dai Dai" during the World Cup opening ceremony significantly boosted its popularity, contributing to its debut on the chart.
