Burna Boy Sets New Spotify Record for Most Monthly Listeners by an African Artist
Nigerian singer Burna Boy has become the African artist with the highest number of monthly listeners in Spotify history.
The Grammy-winning star recently reached 46.84 million monthly listeners on Spotify, surpassing the previous African record of 46.58 million set by South African singer Tyla.
According to the latest figures, Burna Boy now has 47.3 million monthly listeners on the platform and is on course to become the first African artist to hit 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The increase in streams has been largely driven by his collaboration with Shakira on the song Dai Dai.
The track recently climbed to number one on Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart, making Burna Boy the first African artist to top the chart since Wizkid appeared at the summit through his collaboration with Drake on One Dance in 2016.
