Nigeria’s music stars Davido and Lojay have been named among Billboard’s 2024 Honour Roll artists, celebrated for achieving a No. 1 hit on the R&B, Rap, or Rhythmic charts.
The Billboard Honour Roll acknowledges artists who have made a significant impact with their chart-topping success over the past year.
The recognition comes as part of Billboard’s celebration of its R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players, spotlighting those who’ve propelled the genre to new heights. This year, R&B made a grand return, notably with Usher’s Super Bowl performance signalling the genre’s revival. Billboard honoured five standout artists shaping the future of R&B, including Usher, Victoria Monet, Lucky Daye, and the late Luther Vandross.
Davido and Lojay made the list courtesy of his contributions to Chris Brown‘s “Sensational” which reached NO. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay Chart.
Davido and Chris Brown have formed a formidable duo with the artists collaborating on several records with the latest being “Hmm” off Chris Brown’s 11th album “11:11”.
Chris Brown has also become one of the most influential foreign artists in Afrobeats, having collaborated with Nigerian stars in several notable projects. The American R&B star was tapped by Lojay for the remix of his hit single ‘Monalisa’ which further rocketed the song to commercial success.
