Afrobeats sensation Wizkid has shattered records once again with his latest single, “Kese,” which amassed over 1.5 million streams on Spotify within its first 24 hours.
This incredible feat makes “Kese” the most-streamed song on Spotify in a single day by a Nigerian artist, surpassing Davido’s “Awuke” as the previous record holder.
“Kese,” a track from Wizkid’s highly anticipated album Morayo, has captivated fans with its infectious rhythm and rich lyrical content. Its release follows the success of his recent hit, “Piece of My Heart,” a collaboration with American artist Brent Faiyaz, which also achieved impressive streaming numbers.
As fans gear up for the release of Morayo, “Kese” serves as a powerful teaser of what’s to come.
According to Chart Data, Wizkid now claims two of the top three spots for the most-streamed Nigerian songs on Spotify in their debut day. “Kese” leads the pack with its record-breaking 1.5 million streams, followed by “Piece of My Heart” in second place. Asake’s Grammy-nominated track “MMS,” which features Wizkid, rounds out the top three with an impressive 870,000 streams.
Fan Reactions
News of “Kese’s” success has sparked widespread excitement among fans and industry insiders alike. Social media platforms have been flooded with congratulatory messages and reactions, as fans celebrate Wizkid’s ability to continually push boundaries and deliver groundbreaking music.
