Nigerian music superstars Wizkid and Tems have made global history by ranking among the most-streamed artists of all time on Apple Music. The achievement was revealed as Apple celebrated its biggest songs ever streamed on the platform.
According to the report released by Apple Music, Wizkid and Tems are now the highest-ranked African artists on the list—cementing their influence on the global stage and spotlighting Nigerian music worldwide.
Wizkid earned his spot through his mega-hit collaboration with Drake titled “One Dance”, which remains one of the most streamed songs in the platform’s history. The track, released in 2016, not only topped global charts but helped introduce Wizkid’s Afrobeat-infused sound to international audiences, earning him widespread acclaim.
Tems, on the other hand, secured her milestone with “Wait For U”, her Grammy-winning collaboration with Future and Drake. The song, which showcases her distinctive soulful vocals, made her the highest-ranked female African artist on the all-time chart—an unprecedented feat for a Nigerian woman in global music.
The success of both artists signifies a major breakthrough for the African music scene, particularly Nigeria, which continues to produce globally recognized talents. Tems’ rise is especially significant, as she has also launched initiatives aimed at supporting women in music across the continent.
Fans across social media have flooded both artists with praise, celebrating the representation of African excellence in global entertainment spaces.
This record-breaking moment not only highlights their artistic brilliance but also solidifies Afrobeat’s impact on international music culture. Both Wizkid and Tems have shown that Nigerian music is not just trending—it’s timeless.
