Powered by impressive worldwide streaming numbers and strong digital sales, “Dai Dai” climbed to the summit of the global chart, further cementing Burna Boy’s reputation as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports.
The achievement adds another historic accolade to Burna Boy’s already remarkable career while reinforcing Africa’s expanding presence on the global music stage.
