Wizkid's newest single, titled "Piece of My Heart," has achieved remarkable success by breaking streaming records. Released on October 18, 2024, this collaborative effort with Brent Faiyaz has rapidly gained popularity across various streaming platforms, consistently reaching new milestones.
In a noteworthy accomplishment, "Piece of My Heart" has secured the distinction of garnering the highest weekly streams on YouTube Nigeria, accumulating an impressive 1.20 million streams. This remarkable feat surpasses the previous record of 1.18 million streams held by Fireboy's "Peru" remix featuring Ed Sheeran.
This achievement follows the single's record-breaking performance on Spotify Nigeria, where it achieved the highest opening day streams, surpassing the previous record shared with Asake's 'MMS.'
The RnB track, characterized by its mid-tempo bounce and fusion style that Wizkid is known for, has also made history as the first song from any African country to reach 1 million opening day streams on Spotify.
The remarkable success of Wizkid's new single underscores his position as one of Nigeria's leading commercial artists and highlights the growing prominence of streaming services in Nigeria, particularly on YouTube, which remains a favored digital platform in the region.
'Piece of My Heart' marks the beginning of the 'Morayo' era for the Grammy-winning artist, who is set to release his much-anticipated sixth album on November 22, 2024.
