The Afrobeats titan, Wizkid, just hit another career milestone, and the numbers don’t lie. His latest single, “Piece of My Heart,” featuring Brent Faiyaz, made a huge splash on Spotify, smashing through the 1 million streams mark in just 24 hours. This achievement marks a new record for the platform and puts Nigeria on the map as the 22nd country to hit over a million daily streams.
The song didn’t just dominate locally—it went global, debuting at number 90 on the Spotify Chart, amassing a staggering 1.7 million streams worldwide on release day. Add to that the total of 2.27 million streams within 24 hours, and it’s clear Wizkid isn’t slowing down.
What makes this even sweeter? “Piece of My Heart” took the crown for the biggest first-day streaming debut by an African artist on Spotify, overtaking Wizkid’s record with “MMS” featuring Asake, which garnered 870,577 streams on its first day. This new milestone isn’t just another notch in Wizkid’s belt—it’s a reminder that Afrobeats continues to reshape the global music scene.
