Wizkid Sets New Spotify Nigeria Record with ‘Piece of My Heart’ Featuring Brent Faiyaz
Nigerian music sensation Ayodeji Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, has achieved yet another milestone in his illustrious career.
His latest single, Piece of My Heart, featuring American R&B star Brent Faiyaz, has broken the record for the biggest streaming day on Spotify Nigeria.
The track amassed over 1.016 million streams in just 24 hours, making it the first song in the country’s history to surpass the 1 million stream mark on Spotify Nigeria in a single day.
This remarkable achievement places Nigeria alongside only 21 other countries where a song has received over a million streams on its Spotify chart in a single day.
As a result, Piece of My Heart debuted on the Global Spotify Chart at number 90, with a total of 1.7 million streams on its release day.
Globally, the track garnered an impressive 2.27 million streams on its first day, cementing its success on a worldwide scale.
The collaboration between Wizkid and Brent Faiyaz, a rising star in the American R&B scene, was highly anticipated, and the numbers reflect the global appeal of both artists.
Faiyaz, known for hits like Dead Man Walking and Gravity, has been carving out a name for himself in the R&B genre with his unique sound.
Teaming up with Wizkid, who has become a global icon in Afrobeats and African music, the duo created a track that resonated with audiences both locally and internationally.
This new record also marks the biggest streaming debut for a song by an African artist in Spotify history, further highlighting Wizkid’s dominance on the global stage.
Over the years, Wizkid has continued to break barriers, becoming one of the most successful African artists worldwide.
From his early hits like Ojuelegba to global smash hits like Essence, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of African music, bringing it to the forefront of global entertainment.
The success of Piece of My Heart continues to build on the momentum Wizkid has gained over the years.
His collaboration with Brent Faiyaz underscores his ability to effortlessly blend genres and work with top international artists, further establishing him as a key player in the global music scene.
With this record-breaking achievement, Wizkid continues to elevate Afrobeats and Nigerian music to new heights, while also inspiring a generation of African artists to aim for the global stage.
The historic streaming numbers also reflect the growing influence of Spotify in Nigeria since its launch, as more Nigerian listeners connect with local and international music on the platform.
As Wizkid and Brent Faiyaz celebrate the success of Piece of My Heart, the song is likely to continue climbing the charts and solidify its place as one of the standout tracks of the year.
