Ayra Starr Named Nigeria‘s Top Female Artist Of 2024

In a major achievement, Grammy-nominated Ayra Starr has been crowned the No. 1 female artist in Nigeria for 2024. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

This milestone was announced by TurnTable in its annual end-of-year chart, which aggregates streaming data, radio, and TV airplay. According to the publication, Ayra Starr, at just 22 years old, secured her position as the most commercially successful female artist in the country last year.

Her remarkable success in 2024 was driven by the release of her highly acclaimed sophomore album The Year I Turned 21. The album featured notable collaborations with Nigerian artists Asake and Seyi Vibez, as well as international stars like Giveon, Coco Jones, and Aniita. It received widespread praise as one of the top albums of the year.

Ayra’s singles, such as “Comma” and “Bad Vibes” featuring Seyi Vibez, became some of the most-streamed songs of 2024. The album was also the most-streamed on Spotify, amassing over 700 million streams, with additional attention from her collaboration on Rvssian’s Santa.

She closed out the year with a headline performance at Flytime Fest, where she shared the stage with Tiwa Savage and Rema.

Being named the top female artist on TurnTable’s year-end chart for the third consecutive year (2022, 2023, and 2024) further solidifies Ayra Starr’s position as a rising global star, well on her way to international acclaim.
