Nigerian Music Reaches New Heights on Spotify Through Burna Boy, Tems & Asake
Asake has officially joined Burna Boy and Tems as the only Nigerian artists with multiple projects surpassing 800 million streams on Spotify.
Asake now has two projects above the milestone, placing him alongside Tems, who also has two, while Burna Boy currently leads among Nigerian artists with three projects above 800 million streams.
The achievement further highlights Asake’s incredible rise over the last few years. Through projects like Mr. Money With The Vibe, Work of Art, and M$NEY, he has consistently delivered commercially successful music that resonates strongly both locally and internationally.
For Burna Boy, the milestone reinforces his long-standing dominance as one of Africa’s biggest global exports, while Tems continues proving her remarkable crossover power and worldwide audience appeal.
The accomplishment also reflects the broader global expansion of Nigerian music, with Afrobeats artists increasingly reaching streaming milestones once considered nearly impossible for African acts.
Asake joining this exclusive category at this stage of his career further solidifies his position as one of the defining Nigerian artists of the current generation.
