Wizkid breaks record as “Kese” surpasses 1.5 million Spotify streams on debut release

Wizkid achieves a groundbreaking milestone with his latest single, “Kese”, amassing over 1.5 million Spotify streams on its debut release, shattering the previous record held by Davido’s “Awuke”.

Wizkid’s latest release, “Kese”, from his album “Morayo”, follows on the heels of his recent release, “Piece of My Heart” featuring American artist, Brent Faiyaz.

It’s worth noting that Wizkid’s ‘Piece of My Heart’ remarkably achieved a milestone, surpassing over one million streams on Spotify on its debut date.

A recent music chart released by Chart Data reveals Wizkid’s impressive dominance, occupying the top two spots as the highest-streamed songs in Nigeria on their debut date, with “Kese” claiming the top spot and “Piece of My Heart” taking the runner-up spot.

Asake’s Grammy-nominated song “MMS” from his album “Lungu Boy”, featuring Wizkid, dominates the third spot with 870,000 streams.
