Apple Music Names Wizkid and Tems Among Most-Streamed Artists of All Time

Apple Music has unveiled its list of the most-streamed songs of all time, spotlighting Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Tems for their groundbreaking contributions.

Wizkid earned top honors as the highest-ranked African artist on the list through his global hit “One Dance” with Drake. The 2016 collaboration remains one of the most iconic Afro-influenced tracks to top international charts and helped cement Wizkid’s legacy as a global music force.

Tems, known for her soulful style and genre-defying sound, made history as the only African female artist to appear on the list. Her Grammy-winning track “Wait For U” with Future and Drake showcased her global reach and earned her a spot among the most streamed tracks ever. Her appearance also reinforces her role as a leader in amplifying African women in music, a cause she has continued to champion.

Apple Music’s announcement not only honors the artists but also underscores the international rise of Afrobeats. The genre’s fusion of rhythm, melody, and emotion has captivated global audiences, with Nigerian artists at the forefront of its explosive growth.

Wizkid and Tems’ inclusion in the streaming giant’s all-time rankings proves that African music is no longer just a movement—it’s a global standard.
