Nigerian music news platform, The Debut Hub, announced the development in a post on its official X handle, @thedebuthub, citing data from Chartmasters.
According to a release by the EAS ,the sales cover studio albums, other LPs, including compilations, physical singles, digital singles and streaming (album track equivalents)
EAS is a standardised music industry metric used to equate singles, streams, and physical or digital purchases into one “album sale”.
It levels the playing field so traditional album purchases (1 unit) can be compared fairly to digital downloads and streaming activity across streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.
According to Chartmasters, Burna Boy’s 14.46 million equivalent album units are derived from a combination of album sales, physical and digital single sales, and streaming equivalents, rather than pure album purchases alone.
The ranking marks another milestone for the Port Harcourt-born singer, who has become one of Africa’s most commercially successful music exports since gaining global mainstream recognition with his 2018 hit single, “Ye.”
Burna Boy has released several commercially successful projects, including African Giant (2019) and Love Damini (2022), which ranked among the most-streamed African albums on Spotify.
Beyond recorded music, Burna Boy has earned global recognition for his touring success, staging sold-out concerts at major international venues and further expanding the global reach of African music.
The latest Chartmasters ranking adds to the singer’s growing list of international achievements and underscores his commercial impact on the global music industry.
His global reckoning continues to rise with the performance at the just concluded 2026 FIFA World Cup final in United States of America( USA),where his ‘ Dai Dai ‘ in a duet with Shakira served as the official anthem.
