Davido’s Timeless Officially Certified Silver in the UK
Afrobeats legend reaches new heights with one of the most celebrated albums in recent memory
Davido’s groundbreaking 2023 album Timeless has now officially been certified Silver in the United Kingdom, marking a major achievement for the Nigerian superstar. This certification, issued by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), signifies that the project has surpassed 60,000 units in combined sales and streaming equivalents across the UK – a significant feat for an African full-length body of work in the Western market.
Released on March 31, 2023, Timeless marked Davido’s triumphant return to music following a brief hiatus. The album was met with critical acclaim, broke streaming records across multiple platforms, and reaffirmed Davido’s status as a global cultural force. It debuted at No. 10 on the UK Albums Chart, making it one of the highest-charting Afrobeats albums ever in the region.
The project features chart-topping singles like Unavailable (feat. Musa Keys), Feel, and No Competition (feat. Asake) – each showcasing Davido’s signature blend of Afropop, Amapiano, and highlife, while also tapping into broader global sounds. From Lagos to London, Timeless has lived up to its name, becoming a fan favorite and a streaming powerhouse.
With this new Silver certification, Davido continues to break barriers for African artists internationally. He joins the ranks of a select group of Nigerian musicians whose albums have earned such recognition in the UK, alongside the likes of Burna Boy and Wizkid. It also underscores the growing global appetite for Afrobeats and African music at large.
This achievement is not just a win for Davido, but a win for the culture – proof that African voices are not just being heard, but celebrated at the highest levels of the global music industry.
