Burna Boy Becomes First African Artiste To Hit 200M Streams On Boomplay.

Grammy award winner, Burna Boy has become the first-ever African artiste to hit 200 million streams on Africa’s Number one music streaming platform, Boomplay.

Barely a year after Burna Boy was celebrated as the first artiste to hit the 100 million streams milestone on Boomplay, he has gone ahead to double the feat, making him the first artiste to be streamed 200 million times on Africa’s #1 streaming service, Boomplay.

Tosin Sorinola – Boomplay’s Director of Artist & Media Relations, who presented a plaque in recognition of this feat to the Afrofusion musician in Lagos, Nigeria, said this was an epochal moment in the history of the African music market.

“This is another iconic feat for Burna Boy, Boomplay and the entire African music industry. This achievement shows that fans in Africa are fast catching up to the digitization of music and streaming, which Boomplay is championing. With this development, artistes can earn even more on our platform.

Burna Boy is a massively talented singer whose works will continue to affect people positively across Africa and the rest of the world. We are proud of what he is doing and his milestone achievements on Boomplay; to this effect, we, at Boomplay, present this plaque to him in special recognition of his contributions so far in the industry and are looking forward to even more extraordinary achievements.” She said.

Boomplay streams are calculated based on industry-recognized standards in which only no less than thirty-second stream is equal to one stream count. Boomplay has the most extensive catalogue of African music with over 70 million tracks at the moment and 65 million monthly active users.
