Nigerian Grammy-winning singer Damini Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, has surpassed compatriot Tems to secure the most Billboard U.S. Hot 100 entries by any African artiste.
The record-breaking achievement follows the chart debut of ‘Dai Dai’, his official World Cup collaboration with Shakira. The track experienced a dramatic surge in streams and airplay after the duo performed it live during the tournament’s opening ceremony, propelling it onto the prestigious countdown.
Beyond this milestone, Burna Boy further cements his legacy as the first African act to place at least one song on the Hot 100 for six consecutive years, underscoring his sustained global dominance and commercial appeal across international markets.
