<p>Over the weekend, Lagos was lit as Spotify threw down an unforgettable Wrapped 2024 party at the Space Hub in Lekki. The event marked the culmination of the annual Spotify Wrapped parties that had been held in Johannesburg and Nairobi. </p> 
<p>This year’s Wrapped party was a celebration of music’s power to unite, inspire, and uplift. It showed the undeniable impact of Afrobeats, celebrated the rise of Nigerian artists, and provided a platform for the next generation of music talent.</p> 
<p><em>“The Wrapped party was a testament to the growth of Nigerian music on Spotify this year. Witnessing the energy and the sheer talent on display was truly inspiring. We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the next wave of stars and celebrating the global impact of this vibrant music scene,”</em> says Phiona Okumu, Spotify’s Head of Music, in Sub-Saharan Africa.</p>

<p>Launched in 2021, Wrapped summarises the sound selection of listeners across the year and has often unveiled hidden gems in the music scene. Spotify unveiled the 2024 edition of its annual users’ listening report two weeks ago. Consequently, users took to social media to share their personalised playlists featuring music videos from their most-loved artists of the year.</p> 
<p>For the&nbsp;<a href="https://technext24.com/2022/12/01/wrapped-2022-burna-boy-tops-spotify-chart/">fourth year running</a>, the spotlight has fallen on Nigeria’s vibrant music scene as a global force to be reckoned with. YBNL star, Asake again leads the list as the most-streamed artist in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), specifically in&nbsp; Nigeria, Gambia, and Benin. Asake has been a revelation in 2022.</p> 
<p>Similarly, rising stars Ayo Maff and Muyeez stormed the most-streamed tracks list with tracks “Dealer” and “Instagram,” proving the industry’s bright future. Young Jonn’s hits “Aquafina” and “Stronger” showcased his staying power, while Burna Boy held his own with “Higher.” It’s a dynamic blend of old and new, driving the industry forward.</p> 
<p>The report also indicates that Burna Boy’s global impact is undeniable. He’s Nigeria’s most-exported artist and the only Nigerian in the UK’s Top 100. Rising global star and Spotify RADAR alumna Ayra Starr is also making waves.</p>
