Grammy-winning Nigerian sensation Damini Ogulu, famously known as Burna Boy, has once again made history in the music realm. He has matched the remarkable achievement of fellow Nigerian artist Davido by reaching the highest peak on the Apple Music United States chart with his latest album.
Earlier this year, Davido's fourth studio album, 'Timeless,' reached an impressive Number 2 position on the chart. Now, Burna Boy's freshly released album, 'I Told Them,' has achieved the same feat by securing the Number 2 spot on the US Apple Music chart on a recent Saturday. This momentous accomplishment ties the two artists in a shared record of the highest-peaking African project on this prominent chart.
The significance of Burna Boy's achievement extends beyond the US borders. 'I Told Them' has simultaneously shattered records on the European Apple Music Album chart. The album debuted at a remarkable Number 2 position, solidifying its status as the highest-peaking African project in the history of this European chart.
In a noteworthy twist, Burna Boy has surpassed his own previous record. His 2022 album, 'Love, Damini,' peaked at Number 3 on the Apple Music chart. Now, with the outstanding reception of 'I Told Them,' he has elevated his own bar to achieve this remarkable milestone.
The music industry has witnessed an extraordinary journey as Burna Boy consistently sets new standards and continues to command a global audience. This latest achievement reinforces his stature as a trailblazing artist, breaking boundaries and earning recognition on a global scale. As the legacy of Nigerian music on the international stage continues to grow, artists like Burna Boy and Davido pave the way for even greater accomplishments in the future.
