Davido placed 12 songs from his album Oriadé on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart dated Aug. 15, and collected his 12th career top 10 on that chart in the same frame, according to Billboard.

The lead single pulling the most weight is "B4 B4," a collaboration with Mayorkun and FOLA, which debuted at No. 6. The track generated approximately 626,000 chart-eligible, official streams in the United States during the July 31–Aug. 6 tracking week, according to Luminate — the data firm whose figures feed Billboard's charts. For Mayorkun, it marks his first top 10 in four appearances on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. For FOLA, it adds an eighth top 10 across 25 career entries.

Oriadé arrived on July 31 through DaVido/RCA Records and registered 5,000 equivalent album units — the measure that combines traditional album sales with streaming and track activity — in its opening tracking week. The album debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard World Albums chart, giving Davido his sixth consecutive top 10 visit on that listing. His previous World Albums chart appearances include Son of Mercy (No. 4, 2016), A Good Time (No. 6, 2019), A Better Time (No. 4, 2020), Timeless (No. 2, 2023) and 5ive (No. 2, 2025) Billboard.

Beyond "B4 B4," the album's chart footprint is wide. "I Know Who I Be," with JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, climbed 14–13 after previously peaking at No. 6. "Gimme Dat Ting," with NO11, slipped 17–18 after reaching No. 7. A cluster of additional Oriadé tracks made their chart debuts: "Tell Everybody" featuring Leon Thomas at No. 11, "Already Falling" at No. 15, "Amazing Grace" featuring Black Sherif at No. 17, "On the Road" at No. 19, "Constantly" at No. 22, "Julie" at No. 23, "Yaya" featuring Aya Nakamura at No. 24, "Guide" at No. 28 and "Zanzibar" at No. 35.

The U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart launched in April 2022, and Davido has been a fixture from the early weeks. He now holds 56 career entries on the listing. His run of prior top 10s stretches back to "Stand Strong" featuring Sunday Service Choir, which reached No. 9 in May 2022, and runs through "Unavailable" featuring Musa Keys (No. 3, Aug. 2023), "Funds" featuring ODUMODUBLVCK and Chike (No. 5, Dec. 2024) and a trio of spring 2025 hits — "Be There Still" (No. 7), "Offa Me" featuring Victoria Monét (No. 5) and "With You" featuring Omah Lay (No. 5) Billboard.

"I Know Who I Be" has also crossed the Atlantic: the track debuted on the Official Afrobeats Chart Top 10 in the UK in July, as confirmed on Davido's social channels.

What gives the frame its weight is the breadth. Twelve songs charting simultaneously from one album means nearly every track on Oriadé found a measurable audience in its first full tracking week — a signal of how streaming listens, rather than a single pushed single, now drive chart placement across multiple positions at once.
