It might have been out for just over 48 hours but Burna Boy’s “Twice as Tall” is currently shaking the the earth vehemently.
From the Niger Delta, to all the corners of Africa, America and the world. Black people are turning the tables. Taking back our place. We will be heard because we matter
Bose Ogulu (Mama Burna) on “Time Flies”
Twice as Tall needed to be out for just 48 hours to make history across various platforms. While the Award ceremonies are still a while away, the African Giant is already rewriting history when it comes to the weight of impact coherent with the release of his fifth studio album “Twice as Tall“.
Burna brought the full arsenal on this one. “Twice As Tall” featured standout international acts including Sauti Sol, Naughty by Nature, Chris Martin, Stormzy, Youssou N’Dour while being the first African project to be executively produced by P. Diddy (Sean Combs).
We take a look at the early records already broken by #TWICEASTALL in the duration of just a few hours, with the likelihood to break more in the coming months.
#1 Album in 32 countries

On-Demand Streams
“African Giant” became just the second Afrobeats album of all-time to hit the 1 BILLION streams mark (First being Davido’s “A Good Time“).
