Well, the singer who just shutdown O2 Arena with his recent show @DavidoO2Arena climbed to the top 100 by way of his collabo song with Chris Brown titled ‘Sensational.’ In the same song, he featured another Nigerian singer, Lojay, who earned his first appearance on the chart too.

"Sensational" is rising on multiple radio formats, with notable achievements such as reaching No. 9 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, No. 10 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and No. 14 on Rhythmic Airplay.

The song also made an impressive debut at No. 30 on Adult R&B Airplay and ascended on the all-format Radio Songs chart from 49 to 44.

Davido's impact on the global music landscape is evident in his Billboard achievements. With four studio albums and numerous charting singles, he has solidified his position as one of the most prominent Afrobeats musicians.

His recent albums, "A Good Time" and "A Better Time," marked his first appearances on the Billboard 200 chart, showcasing the growing recognition of Afrobeats on the international stage.

Davido's success on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart further emphasizes his influence, ranking fourth among all artists with 25 hits, including three top 10 placements. Collaborations with Chris Brown, such as "Blow My Mind," "Lower Body," and "Shopping Spree," have contributed to his chart dominance.
