Nigeria’s Most-Streamed Artists of Q1 2025: WizKid Leads the Charge

The Turntable Charts post lists the most-streamed artists in Nigeria for Q1 2025, with Wizkid leading at 218 million streams, followed by Asake (147M) and Seyi Vibez (138M), reflecting the dominance of Afrobeats and the growing influence of younger artists like Tml Vibez (107M) and Ayo Maff (87M) in the Nigerian music scene.

Burna Boy’s 59 million streams (ranking 11th) without a new album since 2023 highlights the enduring appeal of his discography, as noted by a reply, while Davido’s 73 million streams (8th) despite releasing his fifth album 5ive on April 18, 2025, suggests a mixed reception, fueling fanbase debates in the replies.

The data underscores the competitive streaming landscape in Nigeria, where Apple Music and Spotify dominate; Seyi Vibez’s past success, like his song “Instagram” topping Apple Music Nigeria charts in April 2024 within 24 hours, aligns with his strong Q1 2025 performance, showing his consistent rise.
