Burna Boy continues to solidify his legacy as one of Nigeria’s greatest musical exports as his Grammy-nominated album Love, Damini has now surpassed 1 billion streams each on both Spotify and YouTube Music.
This remarkable feat places Love, Damini in elite company, joining Rema’s Rave & Roses (Ultra) and Burna Boy’s own African Giant as the only Nigerian projects to ever cross the 1 billion mark on both global platforms.

Released in 2022, Love, Damini was a deeply personal body of work that saw Burna Boy reflecting on fame, loss, love, and life after success. The album spawned global hits like Last Last, For My Hand featuring Ed Sheeran, and It’s Plenty, all of which fueled its widespread acclaim and heavy streaming numbers.
On Spotify, Love, Damini has remained one of the most streamed Afrobeats albums of all time, while also enjoying massive traction on YouTube Music thanks to its cinematic visuals and strong global fanbase.
With this latest milestone, Burna Boy becomes the first Nigerian artist to have two projects in the billion-streams club across both Spotify and YouTube Music, further asserting his position at the forefront of Afrobeats’ global domination.
As the genre continues to expand its reach, Burna Boy’s consistency in breaking new ground proves he’s not just part of the wave, he’s helping lead it.
