Nigerian music sensation, Ayra Starr, has etched her name in the history books by becoming the first African female artist to reach 5 million followers on Spotify.
This remarkable milestone places her among the most followed African artists on the global streaming platform, marking a new chapter for female representation in Afrobeats and African music at large.
The Mavin Records star, known for hits like Rush, Bloody Samaritan, and Sability, has consistently grown her global fan base since her breakout in 2021.
According to Spotify stats, Ayra Starr currently boasts a total of 2.7 billion streams across all credits a staggering figure that reflects her massive appeal and strong streaming presence.
Despite this new feat, she still trails fellow Nigerian singer Tems in total streams. Tems holds the record for the most streamed African female artist with 3.8 billion streams. However, Ayra’s rapidly growing audience signals a fierce and inspiring competition between the two Afrobeats queens.
Her most streamed track on the platform is Santa, with over 707 million streams, while Rush her breakthrough lead single has over 474 million streams. Both tracks have gained significant traction globally, pushing Ayra into mainstream markets beyond Africa.
Fans and industry stakeholders have hailed the achievement as a landmark moment. It not only underscores Ayra Starr’s musical talent and appeal but also reflects the increasing influence of African female artists on the international stage.
As Ayra continues to expand her reach and break records, she is inspiring a new wave of African talents and redefining what global success looks like for young female musicians from the continent. With more releases and global tours on the horizon, the 21-year-old star shows no signs of slowing down.
