Burna Boy makes Spotify history with record-breaking albums

In another impressive feat, megastar Burna Boy has become the first Nigerian artist to have two albums surpass 1 billion Spotify streams.

Other hit records on the album are 'Anybody', 'Dangote', 'Omo', 'Killin Dem' feat Zlatan, and 'Gum Body' feat Jorja Smith.

'On The Low' is the most streamed song on the album with 304 million Spotify streams followed by 'Gbona' with 185 million streams and 'Anybody' with 90 million streams.

'Love, Damini' is Burna Boy's most commercial album boasting of the smash hit record 'Last Last' which has surpassed 451 million Spotify streams, and 'For Your Hand' featuring Ed Sheeran totalling 289 million streams.
