Nigerian singer Rema has surpassed 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify making him the number one in Africa.
He joins fellow Nigerian singer CKay as the second African artist to accomplish this milestone. In October of 2021, CKay became the first African artist to garner over 30 million monthly listeners on the popular music streaming platform . He broke this record after his 2019 single “Love Nwantiti” became a worldwide hit.
However, Ghanaian musicians finds it a little difficult in getting huge streams on there . Another school of thought believes it’s the population which is deterring musicians from reaching that height.
The only Ghanaian who appeared in the top twenty(20) musicians with high monthly listeners in Spotify is Amaare.
WHO IS AMAARE?
Ama Serwah Genfi, known professionally as Amaarae, is a Ghanaian singer known for her work around representation of gender and race in music. After collaborating with local artists and putting out a few non-album singles, she released her debut EP, Passionfruit Summers, in 2017.
