For the first time in the history of the Billboard Global 200 chart, six artists from the same African country and genre appeared simultaneously in the top 20, with Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Rema, Asake and Ayra Starr all placing in last week's edition — a moment that music industry analysts are describing as proof that Afrobeats has transcended its regional origins to become a genuinely global music genre.

Rema leads the Nigerian contingent at number 3 with 'Calm Down (Remix),' which has now spent 62 weeks on the chart. Burna Boy's Grammy-winning 'Coastal Highway' sits at number 7, while Wizkid's collaboration with Drake remains at 11.
