Burna Boy has added two more significant achievements to his global catalogue as the Australian Recording Industry Association has officially awarded Gold certifications to Real Life featuring Stormzy and We Pray. These new milestones further cement his position as one of the world’s most influential artists whose reach continues to extend across continents.
Real Life has remained a powerful collaboration since its release. The chemistry between Burna Boy and Stormzy helped the song resonate deeply with audiences and its steady rise in streams across platforms has now pushed it over the certification benchmark in Australia. Its social commentary, emotional depth and replay value have ensured that the track continues to attract new listeners even years after release.
We Pray has also earned Burna Boy another Gold plaque in the Australian market. The track by Coldplay, which brings together multiple global voices including Little Simz, Elyanna and Tini has enjoyed a consistent presence on playlists and radio rotations. Burna Boy’s contribution gives the song an international flavour that has helped it flourish in diverse markets including Australia.
In Australia a Gold certification represents thirty five thousand units made up of combined physical sales, digital sales and stream equivalents. Reaching this milestone speaks to the lasting appeal of both tracks and demonstrates Burna Boy’s growing commercial strength in a market that has increasingly embraced Afrobeats and its global fusions.
These certifications arrive at a time when Burna Boy continues to build momentum across the world. His collaborations remain a key element of his international success and both Real Life and We Pray highlight his ability to blend seamlessly with artists from different backgrounds and genres. This versatility is one of the reasons his catalogue continues to grow in influence.
With every new plaque Burna Boy strengthens the global presence of African music and showcases how far the sound has travelled. His latest achievements in Australia offer yet another reminder that the world is listening and that his music continues to connect with audiences everywhere.
