As Spotify marks five years of operations in Nigeria, the streaming giant has unveiled the most-streamed song of all time on Spotify Nigeria, and the result comes as no surprise to many music lovers.
Sitting comfortably at the top is Asake with his 2023 smash hit, “Remember.” The track has now earned the title of the most-streamed song in Spotify Nigeria’s history, reinforcing Asake’s status as one of the country’s most dominant hitmakers.
The announcement comes at a time when Nigeria’s digital music consumption is booming. According to Spotify’s data, local streaming has surged by nearly 300 percent in the last two years alone, a clear sign that Nigerian listeners are fully locked into homegrown sounds.
And when it comes to dominance, Asake didn’t just take the crown; he practically owns the room. The street-pop star occupies four spots in the top ten, underlining his stronghold on the street-pop and Afro-fusion wave.
Trailing closely behind “Remember” at number two is “Dealer” by fast-rising act Ayo Maff, featuring Fireboy DML, a collaboration that blends fresh energy with established star power.
Afrobeats heavyweight Wizkid also makes a strong showing. His upbeat track “Kese (Dance)” ranks at number four, while his joint effort with Asake, “MMS,” secures the ninth spot.
Emerging talent is not left out either. Rising singer Fido claims two entries on the chart with “Awolowo” and “Joy is Coming,” signalling a growing appetite among listeners for emotionally rich, relatable records.
Other notable appearances include “With You” by Davido and Omah Lay, as well as “Doha” by Seyi Vibez.
