Grammy-winning singer Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African artist to surpass 20 billion global audio-on-demand streams.
This remarkable feat was confirmed by international music data platform ChartMasters, which tracks streaming figures worldwide.
The 20 billion streams encompass both Wizkid’s solo tracks and collaborations across various platforms. A significant contributor to this record is his feature on Drake’s global hit “One Dance,” which also features British singer Kyla.
The track alone has amassed over 3.628 billion streams on Spotify and holds the Guinness World Record as the first song to reach 1 billion streams on the platform.
In addition to this achievement, Wizkid is the first African artiste to receive the Brit Billion Award for surpassing one billion audio-on-demand streams in the UK.
With over 65 million units sold worldwide, he also holds the title of the best-selling Afrobeats artiste globally.
