The track has become the most streamed song on Spotify Nigeria within its first 24 hours, amassing an impressive 1.57 million streams. This achievement surpasses Wizkid’s previous record of 1.016 million opening-day streams, held by his collaboration with American R&B artist Brent Faiyaz on Piece Of My Heart.
Globally, Kese (Dance) also set a new milestone for an African song, accumulating 2.753 million opening-day streams on Spotify worldwide.
A Prelude to Wizkid’s Upcoming Album
Kese (Dance) serves as one of the lead singles from Wizkid’s forthcoming album, Morayo, which is scheduled for release later this month. The project carries a deeply personal touch, as the singer has dedicated it to his late mother, Mrs Morayo Jane Balogun.
Wizkid’s continued success underscores his influence in the global music scene, solidifying his place as one of Africa’s most celebrated artists. Fans eagerly await the release of Morayo, which promises to further showcase the star’s unmatched talent and emotional depth.
