Davido

With three Grammy nominations and singles charting in the top 10 across three continents, Davido ranks as Nigeria’s most commercially successful artist of the past decade. His 2017 single “Fall” spent 72 weeks on the Billboard charts—longer than any song by #5 2Baba or #6 D'banj—and introduced over 100 million American listeners to Afrobeats. 20% cheaper than the typical rival’s streaming cost per play worldwide, Davido boasts 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, a stream count that outperforms #7 P-Square's combined total.
