Nigerian artists experience record-breaking year on Spotify
Spotify’s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa, Phiona Okumu, said this year’s Wrapped is a testament to the power of music to connect people and bring them closer to the culture and traditions of Nigeria.
It was during the year Rema’s remix of his super hit Calm Down with Selena Gomez became the first African-led single to reach a billion streams on Spotify. The song is also the first by a Nigerian Afrobeats artist to feature on the top 10 chart of most streamed recordings globally on Spotify
“Nigeria is a hotbed of musical talent, and we’re incredibly proud to showcase the diversity and passion of Nigerian music lovers through Wrapped,” she said.
Spotify Wrapped takes users on a personalised journey through their favourite songs, artists, albums, and genres that defined their musical experience.
