Popular South African singer, Tyla Laura Seethal widely known as Tyla, has broken Beyoncé’s record for the most streamed album by a black female artist released in 2024.
Tyla’s debut album archived the feat after 1.565 billion streams on Spotify, surpassing Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ (1.564 billion).
The album is the all-time most streamed album by a female African artist.
The lead single ‘Water’ has garnered almost a billion streams on Spotify. It won the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys.
However, Tyla’s album and its deluxe were snubbed in the recently announced 67th Grammys nominations.
