Afrobeats continues to soar globally, particularly in the United States, where Nigerian artists have achieved significant success on the Billboard charts. Nigerian stars Davido and Lojay have reached a new milestone by making the 2024 Billboard Honour Roll. This prestigious recognition celebrates top-charting records in the R&B and Hip Hop categories between August 2023 and July 2024.
Davido and Lojay earned their spots on the 2024 Billboard Honour Roll through their work on Chris Brown’s hit song “Sensational.” The track reached No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay Chart. It cemented the growing influence of Afrobeats in mainstream American music.

Davido’s partnership with Chris Brown has proven to be particularly fruitful. The two artists have collaborated on multiple songs, with their most recent effort, “Hmm,” appearing on Chris Brown’s 11th studio album, “11:11”. Their chemistry on these tracks has helped elevate Afrobeats in the global market, with Chris Brown now recognized as one of the most prominent foreign collaborators in the genre.
Lojay also benefited from Chris Brown’s influence when the American R&B star jumped on the remix of his hit single “Monalisa.” The collaboration boosted the song’s commercial performance, further propelling Lojay into the spotlight.
Looking ahead to 2024, both Davido and Lojay have teased new albums. Lojay, in particular, is set to release his highly anticipated debut project. Fans are excited about the possibility of yet another Davido-Chris Brown collaboration, with Davido describing his upcoming album as his best work to date. This continued partnership signals even greater things for Afrobeats on the global stage.
