Burna Boy’s latest achievement was largely attributed to his successful albums such as 2018’s Outside (10 million streams), 2019’s Grammy-nominated African Giant (43 million streams), and 2020’s Grammy-winning Twice as Tall (80 million streams).

The Nigerian singer has become one of the most popular musical names to emerge from Africa in recent years. With many crossover hits and international collaborations, Burna Boy has gained a growing international audience.

Boomplay’s director of artist and media relations Tosin Sorinola, who presented Burna Boy with a plaque in recognition of the milestone, said: “This is another milestone for Burna Boy, Boomplay, and the entire African music industry.”

“This is another landmark in the history of Burna Boy, Boomplay, and the African music industry as a whole,” said Boomplay’s artist and media relations director Tosin Sorinola, who presented Burna Boy with a plaque for his achievement.

“This achievement shows that fans in Africa are fast catching up to the digitization of music and streaming, which Boomplay is championing.”

In addition, Sorinola said, growing digital music consumption contributed to higher incomes for music creators who use Boomplay.

Streaming data from Boomplay is also considered for numerous Billboard charts.

Boomplay announced in December that it had extended its agreement with independent music rights holder Merlin to expand its service into 47 additional African countries.
