    Ckay’s ‘Love Nwantiti‘ is inching closer to an impressive milestone, with over 800 million streams on Spotify, as reported by Wetalksound. Initially released in 2019, the melodic love song gained immense popularity on TikTok, surpassing 15 billion streams on the platform on November 9, 2021, and establishing itself as the biggest global hit of 2021, according to Bytedance.

    The chart-topping success continued, making ‘Love Nwantiti‘ the longest-running global No. 1 song of 2021 on Shazam, securing positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK singles chart.

    Despite debates over ownership during the song’s initial surge, Ckay emerged as its creator. The track’s remix transformed it from a club banger to a sultry strip club-esque record.

    In the ongoing rise of Afrobeats, Rema’s ‘Calm Down‘ featuring Selena Gomez achieved a milestone, becoming the first Afrobeats-led track to reach one billion streams on Spotify. Additionally, Wizkid has now surpassed 6 billion streams on Spotify as a lead artist, solidifying his African record.

    As ‘Love Nwantiti‘ continues its dominance, the anticipation grows for its inevitable approach toward the remarkable milestone of one billion streams on Spotify.
