Burna Boy’s ‘Alone’ Achieves A Great Feat In The United Kingdom

Burna Boy’s song “Alone” has achieved silver certification in the United Kingdom. This track is part of the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By” album.

Previously, the song attained gold certification in France in September 2023, having amassed over 15 million digital streams.

The album, released in November 2022 through Roc Nation Records/Def Jam Recordings/Hollywood Records, showcases various African talents, including Nigeria’s Rema, Ckay, Tems, Fireboy DML, and South Africa’s DBN Gogo, Sino Msolo, Kamo Mphela, Young Stunna, and Busiswa.

The achievements add to a growing list of digital triumphs by the Grammy winner, who went gold in France for his sixth studio album, Love, Damini, also in early October. On October 24, 2023 in Lagos, Nigerian charts company TurnTable Charts presented the singer with 11 plaques and the certifications presented to him were:

Love Damini – 5x Platinum (highest certified album in Nigerian history)
Sungba (Remix) – 4x Platinum (highest certified single in Nigerian history)
Last Last – 3x Platinum
Common Person – 3x Platinum
For My Hand – 2x Platinum
It’s Plenty – 2x Platinum
B. D’OR – Platinum
Second Sermon (Remix) – Platinum
I Told Them – Platinum
Different Size – Platinum
Alone – Gold

In September, Burna Boy became the first Afrobeats artist to secure a UK No 1 chart position with I Told Them, according to the Official Charts Company, responsible for compiling official music charts in the UK. “This right here, this means more to me than any of you can imagine because where I come from is a colony of this place,” Burna Boy said. “For me to be here today with the No 1, that just tells you that anything is possible.”

With this new addition to his dazzle of awards, Burna Boy has further stamped himself as a staple of afro-fusion bringing Nigeria to the world.
