Tiwa Savage has reached another defining milestone in her storied career, surpassing 800 million streams across all her credits on Spotify.
This feat further solidifies her place among Nigeria’s most enduring musical forces.
Widely regarded as the Queen of Afrobeats, Tiwa’s latest milestone places her in elite company. She becomes only the 24th Nigerian artist to hit the 800-million-stream mark on Spotify and just the third female act to do so, a remarkable achievement in an industry that has historically tilted heavily towards male artists.
Beyond the numbers, the milestone speaks volumes about longevity. Tiwa Savage has remained culturally and commercially relevant through multiple eras of Nigerian pop, continually reinventing her sound while holding onto her core identity.
Her ability to blend Afrobeats, R&B, and pop has earned her global recognition, including her album Celia being named one of Time magazine’s Top 10 Albums of 2020.
Her dominance on streaming platforms has also been consistent. Over the years, Tiwa has remained a fixture on Spotify’s annual Wrapped lists for Nigeria.
In the most recent 2025 data, she ranked as the eighth most-streamed female artist in the country, underscoring her sustained appeal among listeners at home and abroad.
This latest streaming landmark is not just a reflection of viral hits or fleeting moments. Rather, it highlights a career built on resilience, influence, and a catalogue that continues to attract new listeners while retaining loyal fans.
