All hail, queens! Spotify Wrapped reveals 2024\u2019s musical highlights with female trailblazers proving the power of women\u2019s voices in Africa \u2014 and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Making way for Africa\u2019s current and future stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artists, fans and creators have ensured that 2024 goes down as a record-breaking, culture-making year with genres like Afrobeats and Amapiano lighting up Sub-Saharan stages and streaming, impacting international trends and inspiring rich cultural conversations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the year\u2019s key developments is the star-studded success of female artists \u2014 women who break boundaries, and support an increasingly inclusive and diverse future for African music,\u201d says Phiona Okumu, Spotify\u2019s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

Female artists feel the love<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to Sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s most streamed female artists there\u2019s no overlooking the allure of Nigerian icons. Grammy-nominee\u00a0Arya Starr<\/a>\u00a0blazed a celestial trail with her hit album\u00a0The Year I Turned 21<\/em><\/a>, her worldwide tour, and her fearless red-carpet style.<\/p>\n

Starr\u2019s soulful Afropop meets R&B sound made her the most streamed female songstress in her home country as well as Ghana and Kenya. Ghanaians also loved their very own\u00a0Gyakie<\/a>, who was the 4th most streamed artist in her home country.<\/p>\n

Tems<\/a>\u00a0took the second spot in Nigeria and Ghana and the fourth spot in Kenya. Nigeria not only produces but also supports talent. The country\u2019s most streamed female artists after Arya Starr and Tems include\u00a0Tiwa Savage<\/a>,\u00a0Bloody Civilian,<\/a>\u00a0and Spotify EQUAL artists\u00a0Qing Madi<\/a>,\u00a0Simi<\/a>, and\u00a0Fave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0EQUAL<\/a>\u00a0programme is a global initiative to drive equity and amplify the voices of women through global and local playlisting and off-platform promotion. 200 EQUAL ambassadors have been supported in the programme\u2019s four-year span.<\/p>\n

From Africa to the world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Female artists were essential to helping Afrobeats spread its reach in 2024. Among their achievements: Multi-award winner Tems, who\u2019s collaborated with\u00a0Rihanna<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Beyonce<\/a>\u00a0among others, performed at the Netherlands\u2019 legendary North Sea Jazz Festival while her song\u00a0Love Me Jeje<\/em><\/a>\u00a0ranked No. 20 on the\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em>\u00a0Top 100 Song List for 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Popiano superstar Tyla secured the highest number of awards at the 2024 BETs plus three nominations for the 2024 MTV EMAs. Her album\u00a0TYLA<\/em><\/a>\u00a0placed in the top 10 list of countries like Rwanda, Saint Lucia, Samoa, Tanzania, Uganda, Barbados and Jamaica.<\/p>\n

African women are making waves all over the globe from more than 200K plays of her Born in the Wild album in Tokyo, Tems is taking Afrobeats to all corners of the world and more than 2M plays for Ayra Starr\u2019s\u00a0The Year I Turned 21<\/em><\/a>\u00a0says the ladies are alright.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spotify is excited to celebrate the progress of Africa\u2019s women artists, but the data shows that there is still work to be done to see more representation of these powerhouse creators in the top lists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
