Tyla Reportedly Has Increased Average Daily Streams By 30000%, Since The Release Of WaterSpotify—-Spotify, global online streaming platform, says Tyla’s daily streams has increased by 30,000 per cent after the release of her single “Water” in July 2023.

Jodie Tabisher, Spotify’s Artist, Label and Partnerships Manager, South Africa disclosed this in celebration of Tyla’s newly released self-titled debut album.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tyla released her highly anticipated self-titled debut album, “Tyla” on March 22.

The album is supported by singles: “Water”, “On and On”, “Truth or Dare” and “Art”, in addition to the promotional single “Butterflies”and the 2022 stand-alone single “To Last”.

Tabisher said Tyla’s global hit single “Water”, opened the floodgates for her career, leading to a viral dance challenge, almost 500 million streams on Spotify so far and a Grammy win.

“Over 30,000%! That’s the increase in Tyla’s average daily streams since Water was released. Her tracks have also been added to over 10 million playlists by Spotify users.

“Her debut album, with features from Kelvin Momo, Tems, Becky G, and Gunna promises to keep Tyla firmly in the music stratosphere.

“The fact that four of the songs from this album are already in Tyla’s top streamed tracks showcases her immense talent.

“We are excited for everyone to experience South African talent on a global stage,” she said.

According to Tabisher, the 14-track album which she first teased in November by releasing three songs had already become fans’ favorite.

She noted that Truth or Dare, the soulful R&B release with a touch of Amapiano, Tyla’s signature, had taken the spot as her second most streamed song on Spotify, just four months after its release.

She said Butterflies and On and On are also coming in hot, with both songs in her top ten most streamed tracks.

She explained that Tyla’s journey did not begin with this viral hit because before Water, Tyla had a discography that included collaborations with some of Africa’s best artistes such as Ayra Starr and DJ Maphorisa.

“While all her songs got a major bump in streams thanks to her now global fame, it’s her 2022 single, To Last, that has seen the highest increase, at 279 per cent, followed by Getting Late at 196 per cent.

“Social media is a huge part of achieving virality, so it is no surprise that after Water, To Last had the highest shares with an increase of 173 per cent.

“The star-power that is Tyla and Ayra Starr has made their collaboration, Girl Next Door both the most liked track and the most added to playlists, of all her tracks released before Water.

“Most people, especially in Europe and the US, became familiar with Tyla post-Water. But a look at the streaming data from Spotify reveals that the artist was already making waves within Africa.

“Her top streams before the release of Water came from Nairobi, Lagos, Johannesburg and Cape Town.

“Now, Sydney, Melbourne and Jakarta are topping the cities streaming the artiste.

”A city that has been consistently streaming Tyla’s music is Amsterdam, which is in the top ten both before and after the release,” she said.

JUST IN: Nollywood Thrown Into Mourning As Actor Alexx Ekubo Dies At 40

JUST IN: Nollywood Thrown Into Mourning As Actor Alexx Ekubo Dies At 40—-Popular Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo has reportedly passed away at the age of 40 after a prolonged battle with cancer.

Reports which emerged on Tuesday evening stated that the award-winning movie star had been privately battling the illness for some time before his death, throwing the Nigerian entertainment industry into deep mourning.

News of his passing has since triggered an outpouring of grief across social media, with fans, colleagues, and celebrities paying tribute to the actor known for his charisma, elegance, and versatility on screen.

For months, concerns had grown among fans over Ekubo’s absence from public appearances and social media activity. His last major online post dated back to late 2024, fueling speculation about his health and wellbeing.

Born Alex Ekubo-Okwaraeke, the actor studied Law at the University of Calabar and also earned a diploma in Mass Communication. He first gained national attention after emerging as the first runner-up in the 2010 Mr Nigeria competition — a breakthrough that opened the doors to a successful acting career in Nollywood.

Ekubo quickly became one of the industry’s most recognisable faces, admired for his ability to interpret a wide range of roles. His performance in the 2012 movie In the Cupboard earned him the Best Actor in a Supporting Role award at the Best of Nollywood Awards.

Beyond acting, his personal life often attracted public interest, especially his relationship with American-based model Fancy Acholonu. The pair became one of Nollywood’s most talked-about celebrity couples after announcing their engagement in 2021.

However, their planned wedding — famously tagged #FalexxForever — was abruptly cancelled just months before the ceremony, sparking widespread reactions online. In the years that followed, both parties made headlines over comments regarding their relationship and eventual separation.

As tributes continue to pour in, colleagues in the movie industry have described Ekubo as a warm-hearted individual whose talent and energy left a lasting impact on African cinema.

His death marks a painful loss for Nollywood and the many fans who admired him throughout his career.

BREAKING: From Words to Ring: Lizzy Anjorin Accepts Iyabo Ojo Boxing Challenge—–Nollywood stars Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy anjorin set for potential showdown as rivalry takes new turn

Actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted the boxing ring challenge issued by her colleague Iyabo Ojo, adding a new turn to their long running public dispute.

The development began after Iyabo Ojo shared a video of herself training and challenged Lizzy Anjorin to a boxing match. She also called on businessman Emeka Okonkwo, known as E-Money and music executive Soso Soberekon to sponsor the proposed fight.

Lizzy Anjorin responded by accepting the challenge and criticised Iyabo Ojo in her post, questioning public support and describing her as a certified failed actress with zero achievements.

She also asked Iyabo to set a date for the fight and insisted she was ready.

“ABEG MK WE START BETTING NOW

“PAULO SIS MAMA AMBASSADOR BABY OIL I CHALLENGE YOU AND IYABO OJO SEPETERI THE CERTIFIED FAILED ACTRESS WITH ZERO ACHIEVEMENTS TO PICK A DATE FOR THE FIGHT

In another post, Lizzy Anjorin also reacted to Iyabo Ojo’s partner Paulo Okoye, over his suggestion that their disagreement should be settled in a boxing ring. She challenged him to a 10 round fight with her husband before any match involving her and Iyabo Ojo.

The latest exchange adds to a long running dispute between both actresses, which has played out publicly on social media over the years, with repeated back and forth comments and accusations.

At different points in the conflict, Iyabo Ojo had shared a video mocking Lizzy Anjorin, which escalated tensions between both sides. Lizzy later made allegations against Iyabo, leading to further public exchanges and legal threats.

Iyabo Ojo had demanded a public apology and threatened legal action over alleged defamatory statements, including a compensation claim.

In 2024, a Lagos court dismissed a 1 billion naira defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Lizzy Anjorin, marking a legal setback in one of their cases. The public disagreement between both actresses has however continued to resurface through online exchanges.
