Afrobeats superstar Davido has added another milestone to his glittering career as his album Timeless officially clinches Silver Certification in the United Kingdom after surpassing 100,000 units sold, according to global music certification tracker Chart Data.
Released on March 31, 2023, Timeless shattered multiple records across Africa’s biggest streaming platforms, including Spotify Nigeria, Boomplay, Audiomack, and YouTube, becoming the most streamed album in a 24-hour window on several of these platforms. The recognition by the UK music industry solidifies the album’s international reach and Davido’s status as one of the continent’s most successful music exports.
The Silver Certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) marks Davido’s first official solo album plaque in the UK. Notably, Timeless also earned Davido two Grammy nominations—for Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance, as well as a Headies nomination for Song of the Year.
Fueling the global buzz, Davido embarked on his Timeless Tour, performing sold-out shows across North America, Europe, and major African cities, bringing electrifying energy to fans while showcasing the album’s depth, from party anthems like “Unavailable” to emotional ballads like “Feel.”
The album’s commercial performance has been nothing short of phenomenal. By the end of 2023, Timeless had raked in over 1 billion streams globally, cementing its place as one of the most commercially successful African albums in the last decade.
Industry insiders believe the Silver Certification signals the beginning of more international accolades for the Nigerian megastar, as the Afrobeats wave continues to surge across continents, with Davido at its helm.
Davido has since teased new projects and hinted at another international collaboration in the works, keeping fans and critics anticipating his next global move.
