Nigerian musician Damini Ogulu, often known as Burna Boy, has surpassed Tems to become the Nigerian artist with the most entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
This landmark was reached after Coldplay’s song “We Pray,” which features Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, and Tini Stoessel, made its chart debut this week at No. 87.
Burna Boy broke a tie with Tems, who had five Billboard Hot 100 chart entries, with this most recent song, bringing his total to six.
With this remarkable achievement, Burna Boy surpasses Wizkid, the first Nigerian musician to chart with four entries.
Other renowned Nigerian performers, including Rema, CKay, Fireboy, Davido, and Lojay, each had one entry on the coveted chart.
Burna Boy is currently one song away from breaking the record set by South African rock band Seether for the most Billboard Hot 100 chart entries by an African artist.
Nigerian music musician Damini Ogulu, often known as Burna Boy, has become the first African artist to sell out the legendary London Stadium twice.
The stadium, which has a capacity of 60,000 to 80,000 people depending on the event, was nearly full of excited fans ready to see Burna Boy’s thrilling performance.
