Afrobeats continues to break boundaries on the global stage, and once again, Wizkid is leading the charge. His critically acclaimed project, “Made In Lagos: Deluxe Edition,” has just surpassed 300 million streams on Pandora, making it the first African project in history to hit this milestone.
This landmark achievement is more than just a streaming number, it’s a cultural statement. Wizkid’s ability to craft music that connects deeply with audiences across continents has solidified his position as one of Africa’s greatest music exports.
Made In Lagos: Deluxe Edition, which features standout tracks like Essence (with Tems), Mood (featuring Buju), and True Love, has been praised for its lush production, smooth fusion of Afrobeat and R&B, and timeless replay value. It’s no surprise that the album continues to break records years after its release.
Pandora, a major streaming platform in the United States, reflects listening habits over time. For an African album to cross 300 million streams on the service is a testament to Wizkid’s longevity, impact, and the ever-growing demand for Afrobeats on a global scale.
With this achievement, Wizkid makes history, not just for himself, but for the entire African music industry. As he continues to pave the way, one thing is clear: Afrobeats is not just a genre, it’s a global movement, and Wizkid is one of its strongest leaders.
Congratulations to the Starboy, Africa to the world, and now firmly in history.
