Discover the latest insights from Spotify's Wrapped 2023, revealing Burna Boy's consecutive reign as the most streamed African artist in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite being second to Drake in the region, Burna Boy's Grammy-winning status remains unshaken.
Spotify Wrapped 2023, an annual data-driven review, exposes Nigeria's music dominance, with Asake, Davido, and Omah Lay securing spots in the top ten. Ayra Starr, just outside the list, claims the title of the most streamed female artist in SSA at number 11.
Regional favorites include Ruger's "Asiwaju" and Ayra Starr's "Rush." Notable Nigerian tracks like Asake's "Lonely At The Top" and Davido's album "Timeless" showcase the country's musical prowess.
Asake's rise to fame is celebrated with two albums, "Work of Art" and "Mr. Money With The Vibe," ranking among the top streamed in SSA. Rema emerges as the top exported artist, propelled by the global hit "Calm Down" featuring Selena Gomez.
A historic milestone is achieved as an African artist-led track surpasses 1 billion streams on Spotify, securing the eighth position globally. Spotify's "Gone Abroad Presents…Global African Hits of 2023" features artists who made a mark both continentally and globally.
While Ayra Starr leads in top streamed female artists, Tems joins the ranks, highlighting the global impact of African music. Spotify's Wrapped Mapped gives a global perspective on listening trends throughout the year.
