Burna Boy Becomes African Artiste With Most Billboard Hot 100 Entries
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has set a new record as the African artiste with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
He achieved the milestone after breaking his tie with fellow Nigerian singer Tems, with both previously holding eight entries each.
Burna Boy’s latest entry came through his collaboration with international star Shakira on the World Cup song titled “Dai Dai.”
The track debuted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, pushing Burna Boy’s total entries to nine — the highest ever by an African artiste.
The song reportedly gained more attention after Burna Boy and Shakira performed it at the World Cup opening ceremony.
Burna Boy also becomes the first African artiste to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive years.
His entries over the years include “Loved By You” (2021), “Last Last” (2022), “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” and “Talibans II” (2023), “Just Like Me” and “We Pray” (2024), “WGFT” (2025), and “Only You” and “Dai Dai” (2026).
