    Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first African artist to debut two songs on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single calendar year.

    This achievement was realized as his song ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ debuted at No. 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, following weeks on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.

    The success of the song on the main chart was greatly boosted by the release of Burna Boy’s seventh studio album, ‘I Told Them.’ This record-breaking feat reflects Burna Boy’s growing influence and recognition on the global music stage and further solidifies his position as one of Africa’s most prominent and internationally acclaimed artists.

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

    Indeed, Burna Boy’s song ‘Talibans II’ with Byron Messia debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July of this year. This accomplishment, along with the recent debut of ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World,’ demonstrates Burna Boy’s consistent presence and impact on the U.S. Billboard charts.

    Furthermore, Burna Boy’s seventh studio album, ‘I Told Them,’ made an impressive debut by entering the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart at No. 31. This is a testament to his growing popularity and success in the international music scene, solidifying his status as a globally recognized and celebrated artist.
