Grammy Award-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has made history as the first Nigerian artiste with the most charting songs in US Billboard Hot 100 history.

He surpassed Tems to achieve this milestone with the debut of ‘We Pray’ by Cold Play featuring him, LittleSimz, Elyanna, and TiniStoessel, on the chart this week.

‘We Pray’ entered at No. 87 on this week’s Hot 100, bringing Burna Boy’s total entries on the chart to six.

Tems reportedly has five entries on the chart while Wizkid, who was the first Nigerian artist to debut, has four entries.

Rema, CKay, Fireboy, Davido and Lojay each have one entry.

Burna Boy is just one song away from breaking South Africa’s Seether’s record as the African artiste with the most Billboard Hot 100 chart entries of all time.
