Nigerian superstar Asake has solidified his dominance on the global charts by extending his record as the artist with the most entries in the history of the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. The "Mr Money" crooner has now amassed a milestone 60 entries, thanks to his collaborative hit 'Jogodo' with Wizkid, which peaked at number 4 this week.
This achievement further cements Asake's position as a leading force in the genre's international export. His consistent chart performance underscores his prolific output and widespread appeal.
Meanwhile, South African singer Tyla continues her chart reign, with her song 'Channel' maintaining the number 1 spot. Tyla, recently named the top Afrobeats artist for 2025, previously held the record for the longest-running number-one song with 'Water,' which spent an impressive 55 weeks at the top.
In related chart news, Nigerian megastar Burna Boy has achieved his first top 20 hit on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. He earns this feat through a feature on Gunna's track 'WGFT,' which reached a new peak of number 16 following a remix with Chris Brown. This milestone also makes Burna Boy the first African artist to debut a song on the Hot 100 in five consecutive years (2021–2025).
These concurrent successes highlight the sustained and growing global influence of African music and its top-tier artists.
