Afrobeats sensation Wizkid has once again etched his name into the global music history books by becoming the first African artist to surpass 20 billion streams across audio-on-demand platforms.
This remarkable feat highlights his sustained influence, not only in Africa but also on the international stage, as streaming continues to shape how music is consumed worldwide.
The milestone, confirmed by Chart Masters, includes his work as a solo artist and collaborations with international stars.
Wizkid’s breakout global moment came in 2016 with One Dance, a chart-topping collaboration with Drake and Kyla, which remains one of the most-streamed songs of all time on Spotify.
That single track alone accounts for over 3.6 billion streams, a testament to the Nigerian singer’s mainstream appeal and enduring impact.
Wizkid's path to 20 billion streams hasn't just been about big-name features it's been paved with consistency, cultural relevance, and a sonic style that resonates globally.
From Ojuelegba to Essence, each release has reinforced his status as a cross-continental hitmaker and cultural ambassador for Afrobeats.
In recent years, Wizkid has earned several global honors, including the Brit Billion Award and multiple Grammy nominations. These achievements have elevated not only his personal brand but also the visibility of African music on the world stage.
As he continues his reign as one of the most commercially successful artists from Africa, this 20 billion stream milestone is more than a number it represents years of musical excellence, innovation, and a fanbase that stretches from Lagos to Los Angeles.
Wizkid’s legacy, already cemented, now shines even brighter as he inspires a new generation of artists aiming for global recognition.
