Asake Extends Record as Artist with Most Entries on Billboard Afrobeats Songs Chart

Nigerian singer Asake has further solidified his presence on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, extending his record to 60 entries. This milestone was driven by his collaboration with Wizkid, “Jogodo,” which peaked at number four this week.

Concurrently, South African star Tyla continues to lead the chart at number one with “Channel.” In related achievements, Burna Boy secured his first top-20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 through a feature on Gunna’s track “WGFT,” maintaining his streak as the first African artist to debut a song on the chart for five consecutive years (2021–2025).

Key Points:

Asake’s consistent chart presence reflects his growing influence in the global Afrobeats scene.
African artists are increasingly dominating international music charts, expanding the genre’s reach.
Collaborations between African and global artists continue to drive cross-cultural musical success.
Chart achievements enhance Nigeria’s cultural export profile and inspire emerging musicians.
Sustained recognition signals the commercial viability and mainstream acceptance of Afrobeats.

These milestones underscore the dynamic and expanding footprint of African music on the world stage.
