Released on October 18, 2024, Wizkid’s new single featuring Brent Faiyaz is achieving unprecedented success, rapidly climbing charts and breaking records across streaming platforms. The track, titled “Piece of My Heart,” has set a new milestone as the most-streamed song in a single week on YouTube Nigeria, amassing 1.20 million views and surpassing the previous record of 1.18 million views held by Fireboy’s “Peru” remix featuring Ed Sheeran.
This accomplishment follows another milestone for Wizkid, as the track claimed the record for the biggest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria, eclipsing the previous benchmark held by his joint record with Asake’s “MMS.” “Piece of My Heart” has also become the first song from any African artist to hit 1 million streams on Spotify in a single day, showcasing the song’s immense popularity.

His latest achievements underscore his status as one of Nigeria’s most commercially successful artists, while also reflecting the growing influence of streaming platforms like YouTube in the country’s music industry.
