Burna Boy sets new record on the Billboard charts with “No Sign of Weakness” and becomes the most charted Nigerian artist.
Global music sensation Burna Boy has made another historic leap for Nigerian music with the release of his latest album, “No Sign of Weakness.” The Grammy-winning star has officially become the Nigerian artist with the highest number of albums to appear on the Billboard 200 chart, a significant marker of international recognition and success.
The arrival of “No Sign of Weakness” on the prestigious U.S. album chart brings Burna Boy’s total number of Billboard 200 entries to five, pushing him ahead of fellow Afrobeats pioneer Wizkid, who previously held a joint record with four albums on the chart.
Burna Boy’s Billboard-charting discography now includes:
- African Giant
- Twice as Tall
- Love, Damini
- I Told Them
- No Sign of Weakness
This new feat not only reaffirms Burna Boy’s position at the forefront of Nigeria’s global music movement but also reflects the growing impact of African sounds on the world stage.

Each artist has played a key role in shaping the international narrative of Nigerian music, from the trailblazing Highlife fusion of King Sunny Ade, to the global dominance of today’s Afrobeats giants like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.
As Burna Boy continues to redefine boundaries, “No Sign of Weakness” not only marks another win for him but also for African music as a whole.
