Burna Boy’s album *Love, Damini*, released in 2022, has sold 500,000 copies in the U.S., earning an RIAA Gold certification. The album, which includes the hit song “Last Last” (peaking at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100), has helped establish Burna Boy as one of Africa’s biggest music stars.

These albums all feature songs that made it to the Billboard Hot 100, including Wizkid’s “Essence” remix (No. 9), Rema’s “Calm Down” (No. 3), and Tems’ “Free Mind.”
