Techloy reports that Wizkid has become the first African artist to surpass 10 billion total Spotify streams across all credits, powered by years of global hits and features such as Drake’s “One Dance.”
Pulse and The Beat 99 also highlighted the milestone, describing it as another sign of Afrobeats’ growing digital reach worldwide.
Online tracking accounts have celebrated the achievement as a continent-wide win, as fans mark the number as a new streaming-era benchmark.
Echotitbits Take: Beyond bragging rights, 10B streams is leverage—expect it to show up in tour pricing, brand deals, and every “greatest African pop run” debate for the rest of the decade.
