Nigerian singer Wizkid, who has won a Grammy, has made history by becoming the first African artist to reach over 20 billion streams of his songs worldwide. This huge number includes all the times people have listened to his songs online.
The total comes from both songs where Wizkid is the main singer and songs where he is a featured artist. This information was shared by Chart Masters, a website that tracks music streams around the world.
One of Wizkid’s most popular songs is “One Dance,” a hit by Canadian star Drake. Wizkid and Kyla are featured on this track, which is loved by millions.
“One Dance” has been played more than 3.6 billion times on Spotify alone. It also holds a Guinness World Record for being the first song on Spotify to reach 1 billion streams.
Wizkid is also the first African artist to win the Brit Billion Award. This award is given to artists who have more than one billion streams in the UK.
He is known as the best-selling Afrobeats artist globally, having sold over 65 million units of music.
Wizkid’s success shows how African music is growing worldwide, and his records prove he is one of the biggest stars today.
