Davido's "Timeless" Album Certified Silver in the UK
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again made waves on the international music scene, as his critically acclaimed fourth studio album, "Timeless," officially received Silver Certification in the United Kingdom from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). This impressive achievement, confirmed yesterday, July 16, solidifies the album's massive commercial success and highlights Davido's ever-growing global appeal.
"Timeless" Surpasses 60,000 Sales in the UK
To achieve a Silver Certification in the UK, an album must sell over 60,000 units. Reports from leading music analytics platforms, including Chart Data, confirm that "Timeless" has now comfortably surpassed this threshold, with some sources even indicating sales figures exceeding 100,000 units. This milestone is a clear testament to the album's sustained popularity and its widespread embrace by audiences across the UK since its release on March 31, 2023.
Upon its debut, "Timeless" made a significant splash on the UK charts, reaching a remarkable No. 10 on the Official UK Albums Chart. Domestically, it set a groundbreaking record with an unprecedented 14.5 million streams on its first day on Spotify Nigeria, a record that remains unbroken by any Nigerian project to date.
A Global Phenomenon Continues Its Reign
"Timeless" is a masterful 17-track album that seamlessly blends diverse musical styles, including Afrobeats, Amapiano, dancehall, reggae, konto, highlife, and Afropop. It features an impressive roster of collaborations with acclaimed artists such as Asake, Skepta, Dexta Daps, Fave, The Cavemen, and Angelique Kidjo, all contributing to its broad and captivating appeal.
The album has spawned several hit singles, most notably "Unavailable" featuring Musa Keys, which has also independently achieved Silver certification in the UK, and "Kante" featuring Fave. The success of "Timeless" further cemented Davido's global standing, earning him a prestigious nomination for Best Global Music Album at the 66th Grammy Awards.
Davido has actively championed the album through his extensive "Timeless Tour," a global concert series that has taken him to major cities across North America and Europe, including Washington D.C., New York, Toronto, and London. This tour has significantly reinforced his international reach and influence. The artist is currently on a world tour promoting his latest project, "5ive," which commenced on July 11 and is scheduled to run through November 2025.
