Recall, Wizkid’s album “Made in Lagos (Deluxe)” continues its record-breaking spree, surpassing an impressive 800 million streams on Spotify. This landmark solidifies the album’s status as a global phenomenon and marks yet another milestone in Wizkid’s illustrious career.

The deluxe version, released in 2021, introduced several chart-topping tracks to the original album, including the Essence remix featuring Justin Bieber and Mood with BNXN. These additions propelled the album’s success even further, widening its audience and amplifying its cultural impact.

“Made in Lagos (Deluxe)” isn’t merely a commercial triumph; it has become a cultural touchstone. Its fusion of Afrobeat rhythms and contemporary pop sounds has resonated with listeners worldwide, establishing Wizkid as a pivotal figure in the global dissemination of Afrobeats.

This achievement adds to Wizkid’s recent milestone of becoming the first African artist to surpass 5 billion total streams on Spotify across all his credits. With “Made in Lagos (Deluxe)” still gaining momentum, it’s evident that Wizkid’s journey of breaking records is far from over.
