This latest achievement adds to Burna Boy’s great performance on global streaming platforms. It comes shortly after he became the African artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify. He peaked at 46.84 million monthly listeners, beating South African star Tyla’s previous record of 46.58 million.

The Spotify success is largely due to the global hit “Dai Dai,” which is Burna Boy’s collaboration with Colombian music star Shakira. The song has been chosen as the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Its performance at the opening ceremony has attracted worldwide attention. This has helped increase Burna Boy’s global audience and strengthens his spot as one of Africa’s biggest stars in streaming.
