Nigerian Grammy-award winner, Burna Boy continues his winning streaks from 2021 and now has broken historical charts on Boomplay.

His recent album, 'Outside' has 10 million streams currently. His follow-up album, 'African Giant', which was critically acclaimed and nominated for the Grammys, now has over 43 million streams, four times more than the previous body of work.

Also, his 2020 album 'Twice As Tall' has been streamed twice more than 'African Giant', standing at over 80 million streams on Boomplay.

Tosin Sorinola – Boomplay’s  Director of Artist & Media Relations, who presented Burna with a plaque in recognition of this feat, said "This is another iconic feat for Burna Boy, Boomplay, and the entire African music industry. 

"This achievement shows that fans in Africa are fast catching up to the digitization of music and streaming, which Boomplay is championing. With this development, artists can earn even more on our platform. 

"Burna Boy is a massively talented singer whose works will continue to affect people positively across Africa and the rest of the world. We are proud of what he is doing and his milestone achievements on Boomplay; to this effect, we, at Boomplay, present this plaque to him in special recognition of his contributions so far in the industry and are looking forward to even more extraordinary achievements."

Boomplay streams are calculated based on industry-recognized standards in which only no less than thirty-second stream is equal to one stream count. Barely a year after Burna Boy was celebrated as the first artiste to hit the 100 million streams milestone on Boomplay, he has gone ahead to double the feat, making him the first artiste to be streamed 200 million times on Africa's #1 streaming service, Boomplay.
