With the arrival of ‘Just Like Me,’ his collaboration with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin at number 67 on this week’s Hot 100 chart, Burna Boy now boasts a total of five entries on the chart.
This achievement firmly places Burna Boy at the apex of Nigerian and African artists with the most Billboard Hot 100 entries, joining the ranks of the talented Tems. His prior chart-topping hits include ‘Loved By You’ featuring Justin Bieber, ‘Last Last’, ‘Sitting On Top Of The World’ with 21 Savage, and ‘Talibans II’ featuring Byron Messia, all of which have solidified his presence on the global music stage.
