“Releasing the revenues generated by Nigerian artists in 2022 on our platform is our way of keeping ourselves accountable and keeping true to our mission to enable artists to live off their art, ” Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy, said.

Recently, Spotify’s Journey of a Billion Streams initiative highlighted Afrobeats’ global impact, recognizing it as a potent cultural export.

Afrobeats’ rise stems from international collaborations, social media, music streaming, and the engagement of the African diaspora. Research commissioned by Spotify revealed that 28% of fans credit international collaborations for Afrobeats’ growth.

Spotify’s 550 million users have boosted streams and audiences for artists, notably in Ghana, which saw 181% yearly growth since Spotify’s regional launch. Notably, the top 10 Afrobeats cultural exports include Nigerian acts Rema, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tems, Cameroon’s Libianca and more.
