Burna Boy has received the prestigious BRIT Billion Award for surpassing one billion digital streams in the UK. This recognition was given to him during his recent concert at the London Stadium. He now joins Wizkid as the second African artist to receive this accolade. Last year, Burna Boy made history by becoming the first Afrobeats artist to reach No. 1 on the UK charts with his album “I Told Them.”
This achievement follows Burna Boy’s successful sold-out show at the London Stadium and his performance at the Glastonbury festival. Additionally, his latest single “Higher” has garnered 2 million streams on Spotify.
