DAVIDO, Lojay and Tyla
Afrobeats stars Davido and Lojay, along with South African singer Tyla, have earned spots on Billboard's 2024 R&B/Hip-Hop Honor Roll, a prestigious recognition that celebrates artists who have achieved significant chart success in the past year. To be included on the list, artists must have achieved at least one No. 1 song or album on the R&B, rap, or rhythmic Billboard charts between August 1st, 2023, and July 31st, 2024.

Davido, one of Africa's most influential music figures, continues to make waves globally with his dynamic sound and unique blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop. With hits like UNAVAILABLE and his album TIMELESS, Davido has maintained a strong presence on international charts, showcasing the global appeal of African music. 

Lojay, known for his smooth vocals and innovative sound, has also made a name for himself with the viral success of songs like MONALISA and LEADER, capturing audiences worldwide. His ability to merge Afrobeats with elements of R&B and hip-hop has earned him critical acclaim and commercial success, making his inclusion on the Honor Roll a testament to his rising influence.

Tyla, the South African singer whose infectious energy and genre-blending style have captivated listeners, joins the Honor Roll following her chart-topping success with songs like WATER. Her dynamic presence and unique sound have helped her gain recognition on a global scale, positioning her as one of the leading voices in the new wave of African music.

The inclusion of these three artists on Billboard's 2024 R&B/Hip-Hop Honor Roll is a reflection of the growing influence of African music across the globe. It underscores the genre's increasing dominance on international platforms and its role in shaping the future of the music industry. 

Fans and fellow artistes have taken to social media to celebrate this achievement, seeing it as a major milestone for African representation in the global music scene. As Davido, Lojay, and Tyla continue to break barriers and gain recognition worldwide, their success marks a pivotal moment for the African music industry, solidifying its place on the global stage.
