Artists such as Lily Allen, Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin, Sia and Justin Bieber are  a few of the artists Burna Boy has collaborated with and have shown major interest in Afrobeats.

As revealed by Chart Data, an independent online platform that collates digital music statistics from around the world, Burna Boy’s last three albums, “African Giant,” “Outside,” and “Twice As Tall” all received the 100-million mark appreciation from listeners making him the most listened to Afrobeats star. ‘Twice As Tall’ has since earned Burna Boy a Grammy in the “Best Global Music” category.

Other African stars who have gained 100 million streams on Spotify are Nigerian stars Wizkid and Davido.
