Burna Boy’s global hit “On The Low” has officially been certified Platinum in the United Kingdom, according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The certification, confirmed on January 23, 2026, upgrades the song from Gold status, recognizing over 400,000 units sold.
Originally released ahead of Burna Boy’s critically acclaimed album African Giant, On The Low marked one of the earliest moments of his global breakthrough. Years after its release, the track continues to resonate with audiences, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of Burna Boy’s international catalogue.
With this achievement, On The Low becomes one of eight Platinum-certified records for Burna Boy in the UK — the highest number of Platinum singles earned by any African artist in the country’s chart history. The milestone further reinforces his status as one of Africa’s most influential global music exports.
Fans across social media shared images of the official Platinum plaque, crediting Burna Boy’s relentless touring, cultural impact, and the longevity of his discography for the renewed wave of certifications in 2026. The momentum extends beyond the UK, with catalog titles also receiving certifications in markets such as Canada and Spain.
The Platinum upgrade of On The Low stands as another testament to Burna Boy’s enduring influence and the lasting global appeal of African music on the world stage.
