BNXN's debut album Sincerely, Benson debuted at number 11 on the Billboard World Albums chart in 2023, making it the first debut album by an African act to chart there that year. That is a specific record worth noting because it happened while BNXN was still relatively early in his career as a headlining artist.
The 13-track album covers Afrobeats, R&B and pop and features Wizkid, Tiwa Savage and Davido among others. It includes his singles Feeling and Outside, both of which had built significant momentum before the album arrived. Billboard called it a must-listen for fans of Afrobeats and R&B. The project confirmed that BNXN was not just a features artist who showed up well on other people's records — he could carry a full album and have it land internationally.

BNXN followed Sincerely, Benson with the RnB album in 2024, then The Game Needs Us EP with Sarz in 2026 — each project pushing further in a different direction. The Billboard debut was the first signal that his audience extended well beyond Nigeria and that he was building something with real international reach. Back Outside, the lead single from The Game Needs Us, has since crossed 23 million Spotify streams. The foundation laid by Sincerely, Benson is why those numbers are possible.
