Burna Boy has added another historic achievement to his growing list of global milestones after reaching the number one spot on the Apple Music Global Top 100 chart with his collaboration alongside Shakira, Dai Dai.
The Afrobeats superstar’s latest feat makes him only the second Nigerian artist ever to top the prestigious chart, joining Tems, who previously achieved the milestone through her appearance on Future’s hit record Wait for U featuring Drake in 2022.
The song’s rise to the top comes shortly after Burna Boy and Shakira delivered a headline-making performance at the inaugural FIFA World Cup Halftime Show.
Following the global exposure from the event, Dai Dai experienced a major boost across streaming platforms, pushing it to the peak of Apple Music’s worldwide ranking.
The achievement further highlights Burna Boy’s growing influence as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, with the Nigerian star continuing to set new records on the international stage.
Beyond his latest chart success, Burna Boy has also enjoyed remarkable commercial achievements throughout his career.
According to data from music consumption analytics platform Chartmasters, the Port Harcourt-born singer has accumulated 14.46 million equivalent album units, earning recognition as the best-selling African artist of all time.
His impact also extends beyond streaming numbers. Burna Boy has established himself as Africa’s biggest touring artist, consistently selling out major venues around the world and breaking records with his live performances.
From dominating global charts to making history on some of the world’s biggest stages, Burna Boy’s continued success reflects the expanding influence of Afrobeats and his position as one of the genre’s most important global ambassadors.
