Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Asake has officially been named the most-streamed artist in Nigeria on Spotify, according to new figures released by the global streaming platform.

The milestone announcement comes as Spotify celebrates five years of operations across Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, highlighting the rapid growth of digital music consumption in Africa. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Asake topped a competitive list featuring some of Nigeria’s biggest music exports, including Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, and Seyi Vibez.

His hit single “Remember” emerged as the most-streamed song in Nigeria, while “Lonely at the Top” also secured a place among the platform’s top five most-played tracks nationwide.

Spotify credited Nigerian listeners for driving the platform’s expansion, revealing that users in the country have created more than 25 million playlists over the past five years. Data from the platform also shows that the average Nigerian listener is 26 years old, underscoring the influence of a young and digitally connected audience.

Asake’s meteoric rise has been powered by his distinctive blend of street-inspired sounds, mainstream Afrobeats, and energetic rhythms that frequently go viral on social media platforms such as TikTok.

His album “Lungu Boy” also achieved a historic feat by becoming the first African project to top the global Spotify debut chart, further strengthening his reputation as one of the leading voices of modern Afrobeats.

With Spotify’s continued growth in Africa, Asake’s achievement reflects not only his personal success but also the expanding global impact of Nigerian music and the sustained dominance of Afrobeats on international streaming platforms.

Fuckinecng:
Always copying late formal president in tribalism and nepotism without a single vision of their own..
Don't worry you'll copy him in the grave if care isn't taking.

LagosOrigin:
Garbage out garbage In

PUNANI01:
And those who don't like apcshit 😂

Brendaniel:
If he needed security, he would have asked for it....

omoredia:
Apc is the party of terrorism we need to become force of anti-terrorism

Brendaniel:
Under what Nigerian law does a governor have the right to stop a law abiding citizen from entering his state?

And if the law abiding citizen has broken any law, as a governor who upholds the law, is he not supposed to arrest the citizen and take him to court?

So a governor who claims to uphold the law is encouraging and practicing jungle justice on a citizen who committed no offense...

And you are here supporting nonsense, later you people will claim you are patriotic citizens who want the good of country but supporting and doing all the evil against the same country...

Shame on you all...

Mitsurugi:
Yes oooo. Your president who is paying ransom

Mitsurugi:
So please explain why no bandit is caught or killed when abductees are rescued

Mitsurugi:
Lamba lamba lambaaaaaa... Lies you can't resist.

jmoore:
Nigeria security and integrity in one sentence? Babablu shall never end.

Gentle yahoo was arrested by the military. He later released a video showing he is no longer in their custody.
Uptill now, no explanation has been given.

Believe this government at your peril.

SisterAnn:
I will first of all use 50k to order bread and ewa agoyin for Burob and his deluded co Agbadorians, those guys have been through a lot lately. 😅🤣

Jman06:
Okpebholo has unleashed his cult colleagues!

When I said it that Okpebholo burnt NBM house in Benin because he belongs to a rival cult, some people doubted me!

That's the same man that claims he's fighting cultism!

This is why Nigeria has remained in perpetual state of underdevelopment and corruption. You can't claim to fight a perceived vice while on the other hand you're encouraging same because you want to benefit from it. It doesn't work that way!

Brendaniel:
So you people's plan is to harm him?

Please for what offense?

Brendaniel:
This is what Tinubu and APC call structure, when they are shouting, Obi does not have structure, this is what they actually mean

anonimi:
When was the last time you checked the meaning of hypocrite?

What is the point of a person with integrity advising people to do something that he doesn't do when in similar situation

princeade86:
But is it governor that handpicked him or thru assembly?

anonimi:
Was it anguish and bad belle that was afflicting jagaBandeet before 2015


@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Has it been cured now that he has fought for, and grabbed power to run with it cluelessly like a headless pig, worsening APC's extreme poverty shege

Tenses:
How is asking for tinubu resignation a joke?

ddippset:
Most Agbadorians don't even need the luxury of living in luxury..

Just be comfortable!!

Infact just afford one square meal a day!

Just one!

Would that be too much of an ask??

TechBaron:
Everything that you said here is debatable.

You can't say you're a long-time Abuja resident, and you've never heard of Ordinary Ahmed Isa.

The person who won didn't win because of his popularity, he won because he contested under a party that has a better structure and he has the backing of the minister and the FG.

And yes - sometimes the results that are presented from the polls lie!

anonimi:
Yoy are so right about the serial betrayer being Abacha 2.0 reincarnate.

How did we allow this most wicked soul be president

Kylekent59:
Look at what politics has turned is all into..


We now see wrong as right


Someone demanded clarity on forceful detainment of a Nigerian held by who knows department and here we are making mockery of the situation.


Tomorrow might be your turn, you could be held by police for days without your family knowing your whereabouts.


Let's all be guided and never allow politics make us evil or closes our eyes from seeing and speaking good.

fredoooooo:
Na Atiku soak the bl..oo...oodd for Belle

Memphitz357:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu sef suppose resign

BarrElChapo:
Damage control. There’s no need to explain sometimes, he had clearly overstayed

SkyBizzy:
Wike is Overhyped

simpleseyi:

Shettima/Wike 2031 is a Goal

TechBaron:
As much as I don't support his opinion, but you saying you don't know Dr Mo as an FCT resident shows that you don't know Abuja.

You're a mere resident!

PigTormentor:
He wants to reject election results with his 7 votes in his own polling unit.
Nigerians are just terrible at accepting defeat, they will always look for one excuse or the other.
You cannot call yourself a Democrat if you cannot accept when you lose.
There will always be winners and losers in any election.

ddippset:
The irony of the Nigerian state is that some "wailers" live comfortably while some agbad0rians live in penury..

Many are online supporting the government and attacking critics meanwhile they live in abject poverty... nothing close to the people they insult online.


I only hope this isn't the case with you.😁


I wish you get commensurate gains from your asskissing day job/ pastime.

VivianBabalola:
In this explosive reaction and analysis, we examine



, and what may happen next in Abuja politics.
