    Mp3bullet.ng presents Nigerian Artists who have crossed the 1 billion streams mark on Spotify.

    Nigeria has been at the forefront of afrobeat for the past couple of years, generating a variety of great sounds that have spread across the world; most of the respectable afrobeat sounds are probably produced by Nigerian musicians.

    The Nigerian music market has made the switch from CDs to streaming, with Apple Music, Spotify, Audiomack, and Boomplay setting the standard. Nigeria is home to the most streamed African musicians.

    One of the most well-known streaming services where Nigerian artists may be discovered right now is Spotify. Nigerians, on the other hand, are only permitted to utilise the streaming service if they reside in one of the countries recognised by the firm.

    As a result, it has become one of the few forums where a Nigerian artist’s international success can be measured.

    However, in this article, we are going to look at five Nigerian Artists with over a billion streams on Spotify.
