Grammy award-winner and Afrobeats powerhouse, Burna Boy, has reached another milestone after he became the first artiste to record over a billion streams on digital music streaming platform, Boomplay.
The feat follows the release of his seventh studio album, ‘I Told Them’ and makes him the sole member of Boomplay’s platinum club.
Burna had reached half a billion streams on the streaming platform in September 2022 also the first artiste to do so at the time.
Boomplay is the largest digital music streaming platform in Africa and Burna Boy is also the most followed artiste on the platform with more than 600,000 followers.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner was also the first Nigerian artiste to surpass one billion career streams on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube and Audiomack.
Due to some controversial statement he made about the Afrobeats genre prior to his album’s release, the album has had a polarising reception.
However, the album’s hit track, ‘Sitting On Top Of The World’, debuted at number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his fourth entry on the chart.
