South African Star Surpasses Beyoncé, Claims Global Streaming Milestone
South African music sensation Tyla has shattered records, becoming the most streamed Black female artist of 2024 on Spotify. Her self-titled debut album has amassed an incredible 1.565 billion streams, surpassing Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, which garnered 1.564 billion streams.
This milestone also cements Tyla’s position as the artist behind the most streamed album ever by a female African artist.
A Year of Record-Breaking Success
The album’s lead single, Water, has been a runaway success, nearing one billion streams on Spotify. The track earned Tyla her first Grammy Award, winning the inaugural Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammy Awards.
Despite these remarkable achievements, Tyla’s album—and its deluxe version—were notably absent from the nominations for the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards, sparking conversations among fans and industry watchers.
Africa’s Most Awarded Artist of 2024

Her impressive haul includes:

Additionally, she has been recognized with 4 South African Music Awards (SAMAs), 1 Cultural and Creative Industry Award, and several other regional and international honors.
