A Better Time became the third Afrobeats album in 2020 to make it to the Billboard 200 chart after Burna Boy‘s Twice As Tall made it to number 54 and Wizkid‘s Made In Lagos entered at number 80. A total of 13 albums made their debut this week in the Billboard 200 chart; including Future and Lil Uzi Vert‘s Pluto x Baby Pluto, which debuted at number 2.

While this is the first time Davido’s album will be on the Billboard 200 chart, the music authority recognises the artist already. In February 2019, Davido’s Fall became the longest charting Nigerian pop song in Billboard history.
