Popular South African artiste, Tyla has recorded a remarkable milestone as her hit single “Water” has exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify.
This makes her the first African solo artist to reach this landmark on the platform.
This development solidifies Tyla’s position as one of Africa’s most prominent global figures, following the widespread acclaim of “Water,” which is celebrated for its distinctive fusion of Amapiano and R&B.
It follows closely on the heels of Nigerian artist Tems, who became the first female African artist to attain 1 billion streams on Spotify with her collaboration on “Wait For U” alongside Future and Drake.
