Nigerian Afrobeat singer Davido, born David Adeleke, has achieved his first entry into the esteemed US Billboard Hot 100 chart - a record chart published weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States.
This accomplishment is attributed to his latest collaboration with R&B artist Chris Brown, titled "Sensational."
Debuting at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Sensational" initially charted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, where it held the number one position for three consecutive weeks.
The song also features another Nigerian artist, Lojay, who likewise secures his first entry on the chart.
Despite being a global sensation for several years, this marks Davido's maiden appearance on the Billboard Hot 100.
Billboard acknowledged this milestone for Davido and Lojay on X stating "@chrisbrown’s “Sensational” featuring @davido & @Lojaymusic debuts at No. 96 on this week’s #Hot100. It earns Davido and Lojay their first career entries on the chart."
Davido and Lojay now join the ranks of Nigerian artists who have successfully made it onto this prestigious chart.
Burna Boy and Tems each boast five entries, Wizkid has four, while Rema, Fireboy DML, and Ckay have secured one entry each.
