Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has broken the all-time record for most monthly listeners by an African artist in Spotify history.
The ‘African Giant’ crooner recently hit 46.84 million monthly listeners on Spotify, surpassing the previous African record of 46.58 million set by South African singer Tyla.
Burna Boy currently has 47.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and he is poised to become the first African artist to hit 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The surge in streams is primarily led by his World Cup song with Shakira, ‘Dai Dai.’
The song recently peaked at at number one on Spotify Global Top Songs chart, making Burna Boy the first African artist to top the chart since Wizkid debuted on it through his collaboration with Drake on ‘One Dance’ in 2016.
