Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, That YY, joins the elite list of the most popular Nigerian projects in history on Spotify.
Amidst the landmark achievements of Nigerian music, Ayra Starr’s sophomore album, “I’m 21”, has officially become Spotify’s fifth most popular Nigerian project ever. The album received over 994 million streams, surpassing Wizkid’s manufacturing in Lagos: Deluxe Edition, and currently has 993.6 million streams.
This milestone cements one of Ayra Starr’s most influential and globally resonant voices in today’s Afrobeats. I released the year I released in 2024 with the 21-year-old Ayra Growth as an artist, blending vibrant African pop rhythms, introspective lyrics and voices against the genre. The project is praised for its cohesion and maturity in its voice, which marks a decisive moment in the singer’s career.
The album features “Comma,” “Rhythm & Blues,” and “21,” all of which have contributed significantly to the success of its streaming. In addition to being commercially acclaimed, my 21 year was widely criticized for its depth, vulnerability and cultural significance.
The rise of Ayra Starr reflects the continued expansion of Nigerian music. Going beyond landmark albums like Lagos: Deluxe Edition, which include internationally recognized hits such as “Essence” and “Mood,” marking a generational shift in the industry.
