    Fast-rising Nigerian artist Kunmie is making waves internationally as his viral single, Arike, secures the No. 5 spot on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart.

    This marks his first-ever top-five entry on the prestigious chart, cementing his growing influence beyond the African music scene.

    Since its release on February 15, 2025, Arike has enjoyed an impressive run, dominating streaming platforms and social media.

    The song became a TikTok sensation, inspiring over 186,000 user-generated videos while amassing more than 7 million Spotify streams in less than a month. It also peaked at No. 2 on the Spotify Global Viral Chart and claimed the No. 1 position on the Spotify Nigeria Viral 50 chart.

    Building on this momentum, Kunmie has now released his debut EP, Before We Became Strangers. The four-track project offers a deeper look into his signature sound and storytelling, further solidifying his artistry.

    Within hours of its release, the EP made an impressive entry at No. 55 on the Nigerian Apple Albums Chart, signaling strong early traction.

    With Arike making a mark on international charts and Before We Became Strangers gaining attention, Kunmie is emerging as one of Afrobeats’ most promising breakout stars of 2025. His rapid rise underscores the genre’s continued global expansion and the significant role of TikTok in shaping music trends.
