Grammy-winning Afrofusion powerhouse Burna Boy is on a relentless winning streak in Europe, especially France, where he’s just scored another Platinum SNEP certification—his 10th in the country.
This time, the recognition comes from his collaboration on Coldplay’s 2024 single “We Pray”, which also features Little Simz, Elyanna, and Tini. The track is one of the highlights off Coldplay’s Moon Music album and has now officially gone Platinum in France, according to SNEP (Syndicat National de l’Édition Phonographique).
Burna Boy: The Most Certified Nigerian Artist in France
With this new certification, Burna Boy extends his record as the most certified Nigerian artist in French music history—a feat that reflects his global reach and impact on the European music scene.
Here’s a quick rundown of his certification milestones in France:
• Diamond: “Last Last,” “On The Low”
• Platinum: “Gbona,” “YE,” “City Boy,” “We Pray,” “Donne-Moi L’accord” (with Dadju)
• Gold: “Alone,” “For My Hand” ft. Ed Sheeran, “Anybody”
He’s not just dominating charts — Burna also sold out the 80,000-capacity Stade de France in 2024, making history as the first African artist to achieve this feat.
From Magazine Covers to Global Charts
In another huge moment for his career, Burna Boy became the first artist ever to grace the cover of Billboard France Magazine in 2024, underlining his dominance in the French market.
What’s Next? Album No. 8: No Sign of Weakness
Burna Boy is already looking ahead with the upcoming release of his highly anticipated eighth studio album titled “No Sign of Weakness.” He’s dropped five singles so far, including the latest hit “Tatata”—a bold Brazilian funk fusion with Travis Scott.
The African Giant has kept his Grammy streak strong too, with his last four albums earning Grammy nominations and three of them crossing 500 million streams on Spotify.
