Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has set a new record as the first African artist to debut two songs on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single calendar year.

Burna Boy achieved this feat after his song ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ debuted at No. 80 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart that was released on Tuesday. Industry watchers put this success on the release of his seventh studio album, ‘I Told Them.’

“@burnaboy’s ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ debuts at No. 80 on this week’s Hot 100,” Billboard announced via its X handle.

Recall that earlier in July this year, Burna Boy’s ‘Talibans II’ with Byron Messia debuted on the Billboard Hot 100

With two songs on the Hot 100 chart, Burna Boy has surpassed the previous record held by fellow Nigerian artist Wizkid, who had one song on the chart in 2017.

Burna Boy’s success on the Hot 100 chart is a testament to his growing popularity in the United States. He has been praised for his unique blend of Afrobeats, reggae, and dancehall, and his music has been featured in major movies and TV shows.
