The Afrobeats scene continues to post historic streaming numbers as Wizkid and Asake’s collaborative single “Jogodo” delivered 1.38 million streams on Spotify Nigeria within its opening 24 hours. This major feat makes it the second-highest opening day on Spotify Nigeria, only behind Wizkid’s ‘Kese (Dance)’. The song, released as the lead single from their forthcoming joint EP, REAL, Vol. 1, is the biggest opening day for a collaboration on Spotify Nigeria.
