Nigerian Entertainment News: Wizkid Emerges as the Most Streamed African Artist, Overtaking Burna Boy and Davido
Nigerian superstar Ayo ‘Wizkid’ Balogun has claimed the title of the most streamed African musician on Spotify, surpassing prominent acts like Burna Boy and Davido
With an astonishing 8 billion streams, Wizkid has solidified his position as one of Africa’s leading musical icons on the global stage.
Burna Boy trails behind in second place with 7.5 billion streams, maintaining a strong presence but unable to match Wizkid’s exceptional numbers. Rema and Tems follow closely, holding the third and fourth spots with 4.37 billion and 3.24 billion streams, respectively.
The success of the “Kese (Dance)” crooner, a trailblazer in the African music industry, continues to redefine the global perception of Nigerian and African music. His innovation, collaborations with international artists, and unique sound have significantly boosted his worldwide audience.
Meanwhile, Davido secured the seventh position on the top 10 list with 2.5 billion streams, falling short of the top spots. CKay landed in eighth place with 2.33 billion streams, followed by Ayra Starr with 2.2 billion, Omah Lay with 1.93 billion, and Asake with 1.9 billion streams.
