Tyla Eclipses Rema To Become The Most-Streamed African Artist

Grammy Award-winning singer Tyla has overthrown Rema to become the African artist with the most monthly Spotify listeners, which is a significant victory for African music. The upsurge follows the March 22, 2024, release of her self-titled album. Tyla has built a devoted following thanks to the record, which has received over 7 million plays.

With 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Tyla has surpassed Rema’s 29.7 million. This accomplishment confirms Spotify’s statement that Tyla’s daily streams have climbed by more than thirty thousand percent. In honor of Tyla’s recently released self-titled debut album, Jodie Tabisher, Spotify’s Artist, Label, and Partnerships Manager for South Africa, revealed this.

Tyla’s career has reached a major turning point with this accomplishment, which also confirms her status as a major player in the Afrobeats industry. Tyla’s tremendous talent and engaging sound will undoubtedly keep her mesmerizing audiences around the globe.

A full-length effort from the 21-year-old has been eagerly awaited since her big break, bolstered by financial and critical success worldwide, including being the highest charting African female soloist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 and hitting platinum in South Africa.

Tyla’s latest album follows her musical blueprint, primarily sounding like a blend of pop and Afrobeats mixed with R&B and Amapiano.
