Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has achieved a major milestone with the release of his latest single, “Kese,” which has garnered over 1.5 million streams on Spotify within just 24 hours of its release. This remarkable feat has shattered the previous record held by fellow Nigerian artist Davido for his single “Awuke.” The rapid success of “Kese” underscores Wizkid’s continued dominance in the global music scene and marks another significant achievement in his career.
“Kese” is a standout track from Wizkid’s latest album *Morayo*, which has been met with widespread acclaim. The song continues the momentum set by his earlier release “Piece of My Heart,” a collaboration with American artist Brent Faiyaz. Like “Kese,” “Piece of My Heart” made an impressive debut, surpassing one million streams on Spotify within its first day of release.
Chart Data reveals that Wizkid has claimed the top two spots on Nigeria’s music charts for the highest-streamed songs on their debut days. “Kese” leads the pack as the most-streamed song, with “Piece of My Heart” following closely in second place. This accomplishment further highlights Wizkid’s unyielding influence in the music industry and his ability to consistently release hits that resonate with global audiences.
As part of the Afrobeats wave that continues to captivate the world, Wizkid’s success has also helped propel other Nigerian artists into the spotlight. Asake’s track “MMS” from his Grammy-nominated album Lungu Boy, which features Wizkid, secured the third spot on the chart with an impressive 870,000 streams on its debut day. This shows the growing synergy between top Afrobeats artists and the increasing demand for their music internationally.
