Music streaming giant Spotify has unveiled its 2025 ranking of Top Afrobeats Artists, and the list is dominated entirely by Nigerian stars.
Burna Boy clinched the number one spot, followed by Rema in second place and Wizkid in third. Asake and Ayra Starr, who recently signed with Roc Nation, rounded out the top five.
Notably, Davido often regarded as one of Afrobeats’ “Big 3” alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy was absent from this year’s lineup.
Spotify also highlighted the countries driving Afrobeats’ global consumption in 2025. The United States led the chart, trailed by Brazil, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Nigeria.
