Global Afrobeats icon Burna Boy continues to break barriers with his latest single “Don’t Let Me Drown,” which has now officially charted in 100 countries on Apple Music across all genres.
This remarkable feat marks a major moment in Nigerian music history, as Burna Boy becomes the first Nigerian artist since Ayra Starr to hit the 100-country milestone on the platform. Ayra Starr’s global smash “Rush” achieved a similar run back in 2022, charting in over 130 countries.
“Don’t Let Me Drown” is quickly becoming one of the standout tracks of 2025, resonating with fans worldwide for its emotional depth, powerful delivery, and Burna’s signature blend of Afro-fusion and lyrical introspection.
The record’s international success underscores Burna Boy’s consistent ability to connect across borders, making him not just a Nigerian superstar, but a worldwide cultural force. From Grammy wins to festival headliners and record-setting streaming numbers, Burna continues to lead the global wave of African music.
With “Don’t Let Me Drown” hitting this new benchmark, fans and industry watchers alike will be looking to see just how far this hit can go, and whether it can surpass the high-water mark set by “Rush.”
