Speaking in a statement, Spotify’s artiste & label partnerships manager, West Africa, Victor Okpala, said: “Spotify announced this year’s edition of Wrapped, its hotly anticipated annual round-up of the top artistes and music of the year as streamed by users around the world.
“And this year’s data paints a picture of how Nigerian music captured hearts at home and around the world.
“The year in Afrobeats was defined by the emergence of a hybrid Amapiano sound, an endless pipeline of hits, and new heights for a generation of pop royalty who are questioning our ideas of what’s popular in style and sound.”
