Davido has once again defied the limits of musical greatness, solidifying his position not just as a hitmaker but as a living legend of Afrobeats.
The Nigerian superstar has made history as the first artist with six Back-To-Back No. 1 hits in Nigeria. This unprecedented streak has sent shockwaves through the industry and reaffirmed his crown in the genre he helped globalize.
In a year already packed with milestones, Davido’s 2024 reign includes smash hits like “Twe Twe (Remix),” “Ogechi (Remix),” and the viral sensation “Awuke” featuring YG Marley. Released on October 31, 2024, “Awuke” didn’t just top charts — it exploded across platforms, amassing nearly 500,000 streams on Spotify Nigeria within its first 24 hours, and soaring to over 26 million streams since its debut. It now holds the title of Davido’s longest-running number-one single — a testament to both its infectious sound and the star power behind it.
But Davido’s winning streak isn’t limited to singles alone. His critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Timeless,” reshaped the benchmarks for African music across digital platforms. The project broke records on Apple Music as the most streamed African album in a single day, with every track landing in the UK Apple Music Top 100 — a groundbreaking first for an Afrobeats album. On Audiomack, Timeless pulled in over 12 million streams in just 24 hours, shattering expectations and rewriting the playbook for African music success.
These achievements are more than just numbers. They speak to Davido’s unmatched consistency, cultural impact, and his role as a global ambassador for Nigerian music. With every release, he not only entertains but elevates the status of Afrobeats, taking its pulse from the streets of Lagos to the stages of London, New York, and beyond.
As the charts continue to reflect his dominance, one thing is certain: Davido isn’t just making music — he’s making history.
