On October 10, 2021, news broke that Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, WIzkid's groundbreaking album, Made In Lagos, had hit one billion streams across all streaming platforms.

This comes in less than year of release, during which the album has also become the highest charting African album on the Billboard 200 yet. The album has 322 million streams on Apple Music, 229 million streams on Spotify, 227 million streams on YouTube, over 170 million streams on Audiomack, over 40 million streams on Boomplay and 20.1 million streams on Pandora.

A few weeks ago, it was announced that 'Essence' alone had over 80 million streams on Apple Music.

Big Wiz has broken a major record of the popular music streaming site, Audiomack. The No Stress singer has become the first African artiste to reach 300 million streams for one album, Made in Lagos.

Audiomack took to their official Twitter page to celebrate Wizkid’s win and shower him with well-deserved praises. They also presented a Plaque to Wizkid who shared a photo of it via his IG story.

This accomplishment is coming a week after RIAA presented him and Tems a Platinum plaque for ‘Essence’ selling over a million units and days after Essence’s remix debuted at 10 0n Billboard Hot 100.

Nasso...

surround yourself with people who bring out the best version of you. who lift your spirits, hype you up, give you energy instead of taking it from you. people you desperately want to tell good news to, who will celebrate your successes and push you to new heights. who share your enthusiasm, and motivate you even further. it’ll change your life

The post says 300 million streams, Op wrote 1 billion streams in topic. Op must have smoked weed before creating this thread.

Meanwhile Davido has quit music to focus on the battle for inheritance of their father's company among the Adeleke siblings.

Essence made it so. I was surprised that one lad made a post about top 10 songs of 2021 and omitted the song "essence".

I realized he was just a boy.

The fact that he is chill and has no stress is so nice. Doesn't go about ranting and showing off with so much noise.

I'm not trying to hate on Wiz Kid or his achievements, more power to him and it gives me much joy to see an African act going this far. Much Respect to him.

But I've listened to this album from crown to sole, and I can say there's nothing exceptional about it. Lyrically and sonically I can't see what makes it outstanding from your regular Nigerian album. There's 3 or 4 really catchy songs, there's a really good song with Damian Marley and the rest are nothing mind-blowing. There's no solid background to the album, there's no leaning genre, there's no much lyricism. It's just good hype and marketing IMO.

If you want to talk about an excellent afropop wholesome, soulful album with the Nigerian ambience. Go listen to Chike's Boo Of The Booless, this was by far the Best Album of 2020
