Davido sets new record for an African music on US charts with Timeless

Davido's recently released album, "Timeless" has set a new record for African music and Afrobeats on the US charts.

Following its release on Friday, March 31, the album now holds the record for the highest position on the Apple Music Top albums chart for the US at number 2.

The record was previously held by Wizkid with his album 'More Love Less Ego' and Burna Boy's 'Love Damini' at number 4 on the chart.

'Timeless' also holds the number one position on the Apple Music Top Albums Chart for Nigeria with all of the songs debuting in the Top Songs Nigeria chart for apple music as well.

The release of the album comes after his break from the public space late last year following the tragic death of his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.

He only returned after nearly six months - making an appearance at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony.

Since he started making music 11 years ago, Davido has released four studio albums.

At long last - WE are back. The journey from my last album to this album has been a whirlwind to say the least. I recall sitting & staring over the ocean not too long ago, wondering if I could get here again, after all I’ve been through… but with your love & support, we made it. pic.twitter.com/hX2l5MvEjj
