Simi has joined Boomplay‘s Golden Club after hitting a historic 100M streams on the Africa’s most expansive music streaming and download platform.
The “Joromi” hitmaker becomes the first female Nigerian artist to reach the 100M streams milestone, after having had a phenomenal run since last year. She joins Black Sheriff, Burna Boy, Naira Maley, Wizkid, Davido, Diamond Platinumz, Fireboy DML, Joeboy, Omah Lay and Rayvanny who have clocked and surpassed the 100M streams milestone.
Simi’s evolution in the half-decade since she first captured mainstream imagination with “Jamb Question” has been impressive. Simisola, from 2017, combined pop bombast with technical virtuosity, 2019’s Omo Charlie Champagne, Vol. 1 was a stirring reflection on the shifting landscape of her life, and experimental releases like 2020’s RESTLESS II buffed her artistic credentials.
Meanwhile on July 5, the Nigerian singer-songwriter was announced the latest artiste be joining Spotify EQUAL Africa programme – where will appear on the EQUAL Africa and EQUAL Global playlists as an EQUAL Africa artist.
