 By Leadership News

For the second consecutive year, Asake has clinched the title of the most-streamed Nigerian artiste on Spotify, solidifying his dominance in the music industry.

The announcement came on Wednesday during Spotify’s release of its annual ‘Wrapped’ 2024 report, which highlighted global and regional music trends.

Asake’s influence in the music scene is reflected not only in his ranking but also in the performance of his albums. ‘Lungu Boy’, ‘Work of Art’, and ‘Mr. Money With The Vibe’ dominated the charts, further cementing his place at the top.

“Asake takes the crown as the most-streamed artist in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), specifically in Nigeria, Gambia, and Benin,” Spotify revealed.

The platform also highlighted that Asake, alongside Burna Boy, Shallipopi, and Seyi Vibez, captivated listeners across all age groups, from teenagers to individuals over 55 years old.

Despite Asake’s achievements, ‘Jiggy Forever’ by Young Jonn was crowned the most-streamed album of the year, showcasing the diverse tastes of Nigerian listeners.

Burna Boy, another Nigerian music heavyweight, was named the country’s most-exported artiste and the only Nigerian in the UK’s top 100. Meanwhile, Ayra Starr stood out as the top female artiste in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, and the most-streamed Nigerian female artiste in Europe and Latin America.

Ayra Starr also achieved a major milestone by holding the record for the longest time on Spotify’s global chart, surpassing the likes of Rema and Burna Boy.

In Spotify’s report, the platform celebrated the impact of Nigerian artistes on the global stage, stating, “The global appeal of Nigerian music continues to grow, with artistes like Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, and Rema reaching new heights.”

Anthony Odiong, 55, faces two counts of second-degree sexual assault as well as one of first-degree sexual assault in the charges handed up against him recently in the McLennan county, Texas, state court. The charges against Odiong – who was first arrested in July – involve two women. He could receive up to life imprisonment if convicted of the first-degree charge, a stiffer penalty that stems from the fact that the alleged victim in the case was a woman whom Odiong was prohibited from “marrying or purporting to marry” under Texas law.

Mbereko, 40, has been a widow for the past 12 years and has been living with her 23-years-old son Farai Mbereko. She confirmed that she is six months pregnant and that she has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her.
