Spotify Unveils the 30 Biggest Nigerian Songs of 2025 (So Far) on the Global Stage

In a stunning reflection of the global dominance of Nigerian music and the unstoppable rise of Afrobeats, Spotify has released its list of the Top 30 most streamed Nigerian songs worldwide for the first half of 2025.

Leading the charge is Rema, whose smash hit “Baby (Is It a Crime)” claims the No. 1 spot, proving the artist’s continued global appeal and influence. Hot on his heels is Shallipopi with “Laho”, a high-energy anthem that has catapulted the rising star into international stardom and secured him the No. 2 position.

Davido emerges as the most dominant force on the list, with an impressive seven entries—the highest of any artist. His collaboration with Omah Lay, titled “With You”, ranks No. 3, while his solo hit “Be There Still” lands at No. 10. The Afrobeats icon also makes waves with tracks like “Titanium” featuring Chris Brown, and “Offa Me” with Victoria Monét.

Burna Boy continues to assert his global relevance through both solo projects and strategic international collaborations. Notably, his track “TaTaTa” featuring Travis Scott secures the No. 5 spot. The Grammy-winning artist also appears on “WE PRAY – TWICE Version”, a multicultural collaboration that includes Coldplay, TWICE, Little Simz, and others.

The chart also highlights the growing influence of female Nigerian artists. Ayra Starr appears twice, both with her solo track “All The Love” and a collaboration with Wizkid on “Gimme Dat.”

Newer names like Chella, Himra, and Thisizlondon are also making waves, underscoring the diversity and international appeal of Nigerian music in 2025.
