Burna Boy breaks Spotify record with latest single ‘Big 7’

With his latest single ‘Big 7,’ Nigerian megastar Burna Boy has accomplished yet another notable feat.

Burna Boy is one of the artists leading the charge in Nigerian music’s rapid international ascension, thanks to his remarkable music, which has earned him multiple awards and seen him headline stadium shows.

Burna Boy has broken the opening day record for a Nigerian artist on Spotify with his latest single ‘Big 7’.

The rap single surpassed Davido’s ‘Over Dem’ by 841,000 streams in its first 24 hours, breaking the Nigerian record of 789,000 streams.

Burna Boy’s ‘Big 7’ follows his first release of 2023, ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World,’ which has the third most opening day streams by a Nigerian song on Spotify, with 730,000 streams.

Burna Boy’s latest success is easily reconcilable with his status as the world’s most streamed digital Nigerian artist, as he is the most streamed Nigerian artist on Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, and Audiomack.

‘Big 7’ is one of the lead singles from Burna Boy’s upcoming seventh album, ‘I Told Them,’ due out in August 2023.
