We take a look at their numbers across various major streaming platforms.


               
           
               
                   
  • Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival released its lineup on January 3, 2019
  • It featured only two Nigerian acts -Burna Boy and Mr Eazi
  • We compare their streaming numbers on YouTube, Apple Music, and Deezer.

               
           
               
                   

2018 was a great year for Burna Boy. His highlights include releasing his album, ''Outside'', his game-changing single 'Ye', his pictures popping up in Times Square, New York after getting chosen as YouTube's Global artist on the Rise and his headline concert 'Burna Boy Live' on Boxing day, December 26th.

The new year started off great for him with Coachella naming him as one of the two Nigerian acts to perform at this year's edition alongside headliners Childish Gambino and Ariana Grande. The second Nigerian artist is Mr Eazi.


               
           
               
                   

Things took a turn after the talented artist expressed his displeasure with the size of his name on the poster. " I am an AFRICAN GIANT," Burna Boy said as he called on the organisers of the huge annual music event to "fix things quick please.''

Apple Music


               
           
               
                   

In December, global music streaming platform, Apple, released its 'best of 2018' list. It featured the most-streamed albums and songs on Apple Music as well the most-downloaded apps across iPhones and iPads.


               
           
               
                   

Burna Boy topped the list of Top 100 most streamed albums from Africa with his January 26, 2018, released the album, 'Outside.' This is believed to be due to an unexpected boost from Kanye West's Ye.


               
           
               
                   
                 
               

               
           
               
                   

Right now, the dreadlocked artist has the number one song on Apple Music's A-List: African Music, which ' brings together the hottest tracks from across the continent'. His single 'On the Low' is followed by Mr Eazi's 'Surrender (feat. Simi).


               
           
               
                   

He is also number one on the Top 100: Nigeria list.
