'Just Like Me' becomes Burna Boy's fifth entry on the Billboard Hot 100 following the charting of his hit singles 'Last Last' (2022), 'Sittin' On Top Of The World' (2023) featuring 21 Savage, 'Talibans II' with Byron Messia (2023), and his appearance on Justin Bieber's 'Love By You' (2021).

This makes Burna Boy the Nigerian artist with the most Billboard Hot 100 entries. A record he shares with Nigerian singing sensation Tems.

Burna Boy also becomes the only African artist to debut at least one song on the Billboard Hot 100 in four consecutive years.

Burna Boy has been in a record-making mood as he was recently announced as one of the performers at the 2024 Grammys, a feat that will make him the first African to perform at Grammys live ceremony.

Burna Boy was nominated in four categories at the 66th Grammy Award set to be held on February 4, 2024.
