Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has made history after becoming the African artist with the highest number of monthly listeners on Spotify.
The Grammy-winning singer, born Damini Ogulu, reached 46.84 million monthly listeners, surpassing the previous record of 46.58 million held by South African star Tyla. The achievement cements Burna Boy’s position as one of Africa’s most influential and globally streamed music acts.
The milestone reflects Burna Boy’s growing international appeal, fueled by a string of hit songs, successful collaborations, and sold-out performances across the world. His music continues to attract millions of listeners beyond the African continent, helping to expand the global reach of Afrobeats.
The record comes just a day after the singer celebrated his 35th birthday, marking another significant achievement in a career that has seen him win a Grammy Award and break several streaming records.
Fans and fellow musicians have taken to social media to congratulate the “African Giant” hitmaker on yet another landmark accomplishment.
