Burna Boy’s “Toni-Ann Singh”Featuring Popcaan Achieves Gold Certification in Canada
In a fresh testament to the global resonance of Afrobeats and Dancehall, Burna Boy’s 2022 single “Toni-Ann Singh”, featuring Jamaican icon Popcaan, has officially been certified Gold in Canada by Music Canada, the organization announced on January 19, 2026. The certification celebrates the track surpassing 40,000 units in combined sales and streaming equivalents in the Canadian market.
Named after Jamaica’s former Miss World 2019, “Toni-Ann Singh” first ignited global attention upon its release as part of Burna Boy’s critically acclaimed Love, Damini album in July 2022. The song also made significant waves on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, where it peaked at No. 11, reinforcing its international appeal.
Produced by Andrew “Anju Blaxx” Wright, the track has enjoyed enduring listenership years after its release, buoyed by viral moments and sustained streaming traction across platforms. While neither Burna Boy nor Popcaan has issued an official statement on the certification yet, the industry and fan pages alike have been buzzing with celebrations across social media platforms, marking the achievement as yet another major win for Afro-Caribbean music crossover.
This gold plaque is Burna Boy’s 14th certification in Canada, a tally that reportedly tops the count for any African artist in that market, underscoring his ongoing dominance and the rising commercial clout of Afrobeats beyond its traditional strongholds.
As the genre continues to break barriers globally, “Toni-Ann Singh” stands as a powerful example of how Afrobeats-Dancehall fusion can resonate across continents, years after first hitting the airwaves.
