Afrobeats giant, global cultural ambassador, and musical trendsetter, Wizkid has etched another golden line in the book of global sound supremacy.
Wizkid’s critically acclaimed album Made In Lagos has officially crossed 300 million streams on Pandora, becoming the first African album in history to hit that milestone on the American music streaming platform. This feat once again positions Wizkid as a global music juggernaut whose sound knows no borders.
The milestone comes just days after Made In Lagos also hit 1 billion streams on Spotify, another staggering achievement that reaffirmed the album’s status as a timeless body of work that brought Lagos to the world — and the world to Lagos.
Released in October 2020, Made In Lagos fused highlife, Afrobeats, R&B, and soul with political and cultural undertones, birthing global anthems like Essence featuring Tems, Ginger with Burna Boy, and Blessed featuring Damian Marley. The album soared beyond charts — it became a movement, a feeling, a soundscape of the new African century.
With Pandora’s new record in the bag, Wizkid becomes a certified pan-digital conqueror. This is no coincidence; it is a result of years of vision, sonic evolution, and global resonance. His ability to weave introspection, rhythm, romance, and identity into seamless records is what keeps his audience growing from globally.
These achievements solidify Made In Lagos as one of the most impactful African albums ever released, not just in sound, but in significance. It remains a cultural passport, a sonic blueprint for the Afrobeats-to-the-world movement.
As Wizkid continues to smash barriers, redefine standards, and fly the Naija flag high.
