Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer from Nigeria, is the first African to have two songs debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the same calendar year.
After spending weeks on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, his single “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” eventually debuted at No. 80 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Burna Boy’s seventh studio album, ‘I Told Them,’ which increased the sales and streaming of the lead track, ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World,’ helped the song enter the main chart.
“@burnaboy’s ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ debuts at No. 80 on this week’s Hot 100,” Billboard said via Twitter.
This year’s ‘Talibans II’ by Burna Boy and Byron Messia made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July.
The seventh studio album by Burna Boy, ‘I Told Them,’ debuted at position N0. 31 on the US Billboard 200 albums list.
