Burna Boy has hit another milestone, becoming the first African artist to surpass 2 billion streams in the United Kingdom. This historic achievement highlights his incredible global reach and the impact of his award-winning music and unforgettable concerts.
The Grammy-winning star received his plaque backstage at Koko Camden in London, where he performed at a surprise fifth-anniversary concert for his 2019 album ‘African Giant.’ This album, packed with hits like ‘On The Low,’ ‘Gbona,’ and ‘Anybody,’ played a significant role in establishing Burna Boy as a global superstar, following the success of his viral hit single ‘YE.’
Getting the plaque at this special concert was a full-circle moment for Burna Boy, celebrating the album that solidified his place in the music world. This new accolade comes just a month after he was awarded a plaque for 1 billion streams, following his record-breaking sold-out concert at the London Stadium.
Burna Boy recently dropped his first single of 2024, ‘Higher,’ where he shares his gratitude for his success. The music video for ‘Higher’ features an emotional return to his hometown of Port Harcourt, celebrating with those who have been with him from the start.
