A post shared by @AlbumTalksHQ on X confirms that Burna Boy’s 2022 masterpiece, Love, Damini, has officially surpassed the 1.6 billion streams mark on Spotify. This milestone makes it his first project to reach the figure and only the second Nigerian album in history to achieve such a feat on the platform.
The achievement comes just days after his subsequent album, I Told Them…, crossed 800 million streams, showcasing the incredible longevity of the Port Harcourt-born singer’s discography. Love, Damini, which features the global smash “Last Last,” continues to be a primary driver of Afrobeats’ commercial success in Western markets.
The Grammy-winner remains the most streamed African artist across all credits on the platform, currently sitting at over 9.6 billion streams. Industry analysts point to his consistent touring and strategic collaborations as the engine behind these astronomical numbers.
With this new record, Burna Boy further distances himself from his peers in terms of pure consumption data. The milestone has sparked fresh “GOAT” debates among fans of the “Big Three” (Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido) across TikTok and Nigerian music blogs.
* “Love, Damini hits 1.6 BILLION streams… It’s his 1st album and the 2nd Nigerian album to hit the mark,” posted Album Talks on X.
* “Burna Boy has officially surpassed 9.6 billion streams across all credits… cementing his status,” reported Gusto TV Africa via their YouTube news update.
Echotitbits take: Burna Boy is no longer just competing within Afrobeats; he is playing in the same streaming league as global A-listers. This 1.6 billion milestone is proof that “Last Last” wasn’t just a moment—it was an anchor for an album that has become a permanent fixture in global playlists. Watch for him to potentially cross the 10 billion career-stream mark before the end of Q3 2026.
