Burna Boy tops YouTube Music charts with 644 million monthly audience

Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has reached a significant milestone, boasting a monthly audience of 644 million on YouTube Music. This impressive figure places him at the top among the platform's current top five Nigerian acts.

His YouTube success is underscored by 6.41 million subscribers, surpassing other prominent Nigerian artists like Asake, Wizkid, Seyi Vibez, and Davido in monthly listenership. The rankings also feature other notable artists such as Omah Lay, BNXN, Young Jonn, Rema, and Odumodublvck within the top 10.

This latest achievement adds to Burna Boy's growing list of global streaming triumphs. He recently became the African artist with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify, peaking at over 46 million. This Spotify record was largely propelled by the global success of "Dai Dai," his collaboration with Colombian superstar Shakira, which served as the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The song's widespread popularity, amplified by its performance at the World Cup opening ceremony, has significantly boosted his international audience and cemented his position as a dominant force in African music on the global stage.
