Sensational is the second single from Chris Brown's eleventh studio album 11:11, released October 20, 2023 under CBE/RCA Records. Featuring Davido and Lojay and produced by DJ Hardwerk, it is an Afrobeats record — not Chris Brown doing Afrobeats as a genre experiment, but a genuine collaboration built around the sound's rhythms and energy. It was written by Chris Brown, Sean Kingston, Davido and Lojay.
The numbers tell the full story. Sensational debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 96, earning Davido and Lojay their first ever entries on the chart. It reached number one on Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay chart for four consecutive weeks and number one on the Rhythmic Airplay chart. It peaked at number 45 on the UK Singles Chart and spent six weeks there. In 2025, it was certified RIAA Platinum in the United States, confirming one million units sold. It was nominated for Best African Music Performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards and won Best Duo, Group or Collaboration Contemporary and Best Music Video at the 2024 NAACP Image Awards. Current Spotify streams are over 154 million.

For Lojay, who had previously appeared on Chris Brown's Monalisa with Sarz in 2022, it was confirmation that his sound travels internationally. Rating: 9/10.
