Davido’s ‘5ive’ Dominates U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart, Adds Three Top 10s

Davido floods the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart (dated May 3) with tracks from 5ive, his fifth and newest studio album. In total, 16 of the album’s songs populate this week’s 50-position chart, which ranks songs based a formula blending U.S. streaming and sales totals. Of those, 14 are debuts on the list, including collaborations with Chris Brown, Becky G and Victoria Monét.

5ive, released through DaVido/RCA Records, debuts at No. 2 on the World Albums chart with 7,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week of April 18-24, according to Luminate.

“Offa Me,” featuring Monét, leads Davido’s parade on U.S. Afrobeats Songs with its No. 5 arrival. The collaboration was 5ive’s most-streamed track for the week, with 1.37 million U.S. official streams. Directly behind “Offa Me,” Davido’s “Titanium,” featuring Brown, opens at No. 6, as “With You,” featuring Omah Lay, begins at No. 7. The former registered 900,000 streams for the week, while the latter pulled 1 million. (Although streams contribute the majority share for both tracks, a stronger sales total for “Titanium” pushed it above “With You” for the final rankings.)

“Titanium,” notably, reunites Davido with Chris Brown after the pair’s hit “Sensational,” also with Nigerian singer-songwriter Lojay. “Sensational,” from Brown’s 11:11 album, reached No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart in March 2024 and was nominated for a Grammy Award for best African music performance.

In addition to the three new top 10s, three prior 5ive cuts have landed in the upper tier. “Awuke,” with YG Marley, reached No. 9 last November and spent 23 weeks on the list, “Funds,” featuring ODUMODUBLVCK and Chike achieved a No. 5 best last December and rebounds 18-16 on the current chart, while “Be There Still” rallies 22-10 this week, after having reached a No. 7 peak in March.

As Davido expands his collection, here’s a review of his nine songs to reach the top 10 in the three-year history of the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart:

Song Title, Artist, Peak Position, Peak Date
“Stand Strong,” feat. Sunday Service Choir; No. 9, May 28, 2022
“Over Dem,” No. 10, April 15, 2023
“Unavailable,” feat. Musa Keys; No. 3, Aug. 26, 2023
“Awuke,” with YG Marley; No. 9, Nov. 16, 2024
“Funds,” feat. Odumodublvck & Chike; No. 5, Dec. 21, 2024
“Be There Still,” No. 7, March 29, 2025
“Offa Me,” feat. Victoria Monét; No. 5, May 3, 2025
“Titanium,” feat. Chris Brown; No. 6, May 3, 2025
“With You,” feat. Omah Lay; No. 7, May 3, 2025

Expanding beyond the top 10, Davido’s 16 simultaneous placements falls one short of his personal record, a 17-title week on the chart dated April 15, 2023 upon his Timeless album’s debut. Still, this week’s haul makes the Nigerian-American star only the second act with multiple weeks of 15 or more entries. He joins Burna Boy, who peaked with a record 23 spots on the July 23, 2022, chart and Wizkid, who set his best mark with a 17-song week on the Dec. 7, 2024, ranking.
