Burna Boy’s African Giant hits half a billion streams on Spotify

Popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has set a new record on global streaming platform, Spotify, with his 2019 album, African Giant.

The Grammy winner’s African Giant has surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, making him the first African artiste to achieve such feat.

Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the Dancehall and Afrobeats star over his historic milestone.

Meanwhile, this comes after he made history as the first African to sell out the biggest arena in The Netherlands.

Burna Boy received a plaque after he sold out the 17,000 capacity Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam last week.

Nigerian singer-songwriter, David ‘Davido’ Adeleke has added another cap to his array of achievements.

The music star’s second studio album, ‘A Good Time’ has exceeded 200 million streams on Spotify.

The album which features guest appearances from stars like Chris Brown, Wurld, Naira Marley, Zlatan Ibile and Summer Walker has also broken the DMW boss’ record as his highest-streamed project of all time.

A Good Time has now become the second highest-streamed album by an African artiste on the music streaming platform.

The ‘Jowo’ singer had also announced in July 2020 that the album has amassed 1 billion streams on all digital streaming platforms.
