Davido, Lojay, and Tyla, a Grammy-winning South African star, are among Billboard’s 2024 Honor Roll artists. These artists were chosen because they had a No. 1 hit on the R&B, Rap, or Rhythmic lists. The Billboard Honour Roll honors singers whose major hit songs have had a big effect on the world over the past year.
The award is part of Billboard’s celebration of its R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players, which honors artists who have taken the genre to new heights. R&B made a big comeback this year, with Usher’s show at the Super Bowl being the most famous example. Billboard honored Usher, Victoria Monet, Lucky Daye, and the late Luther Vandross as five outstanding acts who are shaping the future of R&B.

Tyla stood out as one of the honorees because she won the Global Impact Award for her huge hit song “Water.” It was the number one song on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for 44 weeks straight. “Water” also did very well on other charts, too. It got to No. 7 on the Hot 100, No. 6 on Pop Airplay, and No. 1 on both the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop and Rhythmic Airplay lists.
Billboard says that “Water” captivated audiences with its sound that mixed genres, pushing limits and connecting with a wide range of listeners around the world. Tyla’s accomplishment made her a leader in Afrobeats and R&B, and her unique sound continues to have an impact on the music scene around the world.
