Today April 2, 2023, marks one year since Billboard launched the U.S. Afrobeats chart in collaboration with the concert festival brand Afro-Nation. The biggest winner on U.S. music’s newest chart is Rema and Selena Gomez’s chart creeper “Calm Down,” which has so far dominated 57% or 30 of the U.S. Afrobeats chart’s first 53 weeks.
According to Billboard who tracks the 50 most consumed Afro-fusion songs in the U.S. with data from Luminate (formerly MRC Data) there were 217 songs to have appeared on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart since its inception but just 13 have been on the chart for a full year. Six of those songs became chart toppers, all of which were led by Nigerian superstars.

Let's be honest afrobeat consistently dominating America charts .dancehall never had that level level of consistently crossing over it was always one every 5 or 10 yrs …afrobeat has atleast 2 worldwide breakthrough artiste every yr #facts check di stats
afrobeat already pass us in popularity & relevancy…look out 4 di trini & other island version of dancehall coz they're coming & if Dancehall depending on this "current crop of artiste" pun intended, it will be a ez takeover frm us
Great breakdown analysis of afrobeatz I think they have songs with a universal message & our artist especially dancehal need to find that song 🎵 with a worldwide message , congrats to our brothers on the continent. Big up jr great vids keep up the good work. Ps we must not forget Africans are our protoje.(understudy)
