If there’s one thing Amr Diab loves doing, it’s breaking his own records — and this week, “Al-Hadaba” has done it again. Just when you think the competition might catch up, he adds another milestone to the list and proves he’s still running in a league of his own.
A New Billboard Milestone
This week, Amr Diab officially reached 43 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Arabic Artist 100 chart — beating the previous record of 42 weeks held by Sherine Abdel-Wahab. With this, he becomes the artist with the longest reign on the chart since it launched in late 2023.
Continued Domination on the Hot 100
Diab isn’t only leading the Artists chart; he’s also maintaining a strong presence on the Billboard Arabic Hot 100. He currently has five songs on the chart, led by “Baba,” which holds the #3 position and has already surpassed 184 million views on YouTube. Alongside “Baba,” tracks such as “Khatfoony,” “Khalik Maaya,” “Ragea,” and “Shaif Amar” showcase how his new releases and iconic classics continue to thrive side by side.
Two Full Albums on the Hot 100
Here’s one of the wildest stats: Amr Diab is still the only Arab artist to have two full albums—every single track—chart on the Billboard Arab Hot 100. The albums are “Makanak” and “Ebtadena”, and no other artist has matched this feat.
Global Recognition: Guinness World Records
This new achievement joins a long list of international recognitions. In 2016, Amr Diab was honored by Guinness World Records for having the most World Music Awards for Best Selling Middle Eastern Artist, reflecting a career built on consistency, innovation, and global impact.
Conclusion: A Record-Breaker Who Keeps Raising the Bar
From chart-topping hits to world records, Amr Diab continues to prove why he has been a defining voice of the Arab music world for decades. Forty-three weeks at the top isn’t just a milestone — it’s another reminder that the legend still sets the standard, and the rest of the industry follows his lead.
