Burna Boy has reached yet another major international milestone as his hit single “Gbona” has officially been certified Gold in Denmark, reaffirming his enduring influence far beyond Africa. Years after its original release, the song’s continued success highlights both Burna Boy’s staying power and the growing global appetite for Afrobeats.
“Gbona” was released in 2019 as part of Burna Boy’s landmark album African Giant, a project that played a pivotal role in elevating his career to global heights. The song quickly became a fan favorite, praised for its energetic production, confident delivery, and unmistakable Afro-fusion sound. Its Gold certification in Denmark signifies that it has reached the country’s required sales and streaming threshold, an impressive feat for a non-European, non-English-language track.
This achievement adds to Burna Boy’s expanding list of certified records in Denmark, making “Gbona” his seventh song to receive official recognition in the country. It also reinforces his reputation as one of the most commercially successful African artists in Europe, where his music continues to chart strongly years after release.
Beyond Denmark, “Gbona” has enjoyed remarkable international success. The track previously earned Platinum certification in France, showing its broad appeal across different markets and cultures. Its longevity reflects how Burna Boy’s music transcends trends, resonating with audiences through its blend of African rhythms, global influences, and bold storytelling.
The Danish Gold certification is part of a wider pattern in Burna Boy’s career. Over the years, he has accumulated multiple certifications across Europe and North America, while consistently headlining major festivals and selling out arenas worldwide. Each new plaque underscores not only his personal success but also the steady rise of Afrobeats as a dominant global genre.
With “Gbona” still making waves years later, Burna Boy continues to prove why he carries the title African Giant. His journey shows no signs of slowing down, and as his catalog keeps earning international recognition, his impact on global music culture only grows stronger.
