Davido’s album surpasses 150 million streams on Spotify.
Nigerian Afrobeat artist David Adedeji Adeleke OON, who is professionally known as Davido has received some solace from a musical milestone as his most recent album, “Timeless,” has amassed more than 150 million streams on the global streaming platform, Spotify.
Recall, On March 31, 2023, The DMW boss released his fourth album. The highly anticipated 17-track album came off the back of a rare quiet moment from the award-winning artist who has made a name for himself as Africa’s most formidable hitmaker.
The acclaimed musician released the 17-track album, featuring collaborations with renowned artists such as Asake, Skepta, Musa Keys, and Angelique Kidjo.
A week after its release, “Timeless” has broken several local and international records across all five of Nigeria’s main music streaming platforms.
Timeless has earned the most debut week award across the top five streaming services in Nigeria, which is an exceptional indication of both the song’s appeal and Davido’s business savvy.
The success of the album on Spotify was revealed on the streaming platform’s page, and Davido was congratulated.

Davido made a bold claim earlier this month about ‘Timeless,’ claiming that it would achieve one billion streams within the next month.
He shared a comment from a fan on his Snapchat account, emphasizing that this milestone could be achieved with just five streaming platforms.
The post which he reshared read; “Davido’s Timeless album is guaranteed to hit 1 billion streams across only 5 platforms come next month.”
‘Timeless‘ was an instant hit after its March 31st release, garnering a remarkable 12 million streams in the first 24 hours on the international streaming service Audiomack.
Notably, this represented the greatest number of streams on the platform for a brand-new album on its first day.
