Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid is being credited with another major streaming milestone after a music-tracking account reported that he had surpassed 12 billion Spotify streams across all credits. The achievement adds to his growing record on the global streaming platform and highlights the international reach of his music.
The milestone was reported on October 26, 2026, by WizStatz, a fan-run music data account that tracks the singer’s streaming numbers. The figure includes songs where Wizkid is the lead artist as well as tracks on which he appears as a featured performer.
Wizkid previously became the first African artist reported to have reached 10 billion Spotify streams across all credits in January 2026. He later passed the 11 billion mark in May, according to reports from music data trackers. The latest figure would mark another major step in his streaming journey.
One of the biggest contributors to Wizkid’s streaming numbers is “One Dance,” his global collaboration with Drake and Kyla, which has accumulated billions of Spotify plays. His hit song “Essence,” featuring Tems, has also become one of the best-known records in his catalogue. His album Made in Lagos continues to attract listeners worldwide.
However, streaming totals can differ between tracking platforms. While WizStatz reported the 12 billion milestone on October 26, other trackers have recorded different totals and milestone dates. Spotify has not officially announced the figure, so the record should be understood as a milestone reported by independent music data trackers.
Wizkid’s continued streaming success reflects the growing international audience for Afrobeats and the role African artists play in the global music industry. Through his solo releases and international collaborations, the Nigerian star has built a catalogue that continues to reach listeners across different markets.
