Saudi artist Abdul Majeed Abdullah has been included in Billboard's inaugural Global No. 1s series, alongside international stars like Dua Lipa, Yang Kun, and Diljit Dosanjh.
The series aims to honour artists who have significantly shaped the global music scene and features 12 cover stories that highlight last year's chart-topping artists worldwide.
Hannah Karp, Billboard's editorial director, said Abdullah's inclusion in the series marks a significant recognition for an Arab artist and highlights the growing presence of Saudi and Arabic music on the global stage.
Abdullah has consistently appeared on both the Billboard Arabia Hot 100 and Billboard Arabia Artist 100 charts since their launch in December 2023.
