Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has etched his name in history, joining forces with colleague Tems to become Nigerian artistes with the most Billboard Hot 100 entries.
This historic milestone reflects the global recognition and impact of Nigerian music on the international stage.
Burna Boy’s latest feat materialized with the debut of his collaboration with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, titled “Just Like Me,” which secured the 67th position on this week’s Hot 100 chart.
This accomplishment not only propelled the song into the limelight but also marked Burna Boy’s fifth entry into the prestigious Billboard Hot 100, solidifying his status as a trailblazer in the music industry.
Sharing this impressive record with Burna Boy is Tems, whose contributions to the global music scene have garnered widespread acclaim.
The collaboration between these two artists underscores the richness and diversity of the Nigerian music landscape, showcasing its ability to resonate with audiences far beyond national borders.
Burna Boy’s previous entries on the Billboard Hot 100 include “Loved By You” featuring Justin Bieber, “Last Last,” “Sitting On Top Of The World” featuring 21 Savage, and “Talibans II” featuring Byron Messia.
Each of these songs made a mark on the chart, contributing to Burna Boy’s growing influence and international appeal.

Their success underscores the significance of collaboration, innovation, and authenticity in shaping the trajectory of contemporary African/Nigerian music.
While Burna Boy and Tems shine brightly with their five entries each, they are not the only Nigerian artists making waves on the Billboard Hot 100.
