Davido Makes History on Spotify Nigeria with Record-Breaking Single ‘With You’ Featuring Omah Lay
Nigerian music icon Davido has once again cemented his place in music history, achieving another groundbreaking feat with his hit single With You featuring Omah Lay. The track has set a new record for the highest opening first week streams on Spotify Nigeria, amassing a staggering 4.98 million streams. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Davido’s own Funds, featuring OdumoduBlvck and Chike, further underscoring his dominance on the platform.
This latest milestone comes just one week after Davido made history on Nigeria’s prestigious TurnTable Top 100 music chart, where With You reached number one. This chart-topping success marks a significant achievement as Davido becomes the first artist to score a number-one single in six consecutive years, a feat that highlights his enduring relevance in the ever-evolving music industry.
With a string of hits under his belt, Davido’s With You adds to his growing legacy of chart-topping songs. The track is part of his recently released fifth album, 5ive, and becomes his 11th song to reach the top spot on the TurnTable Top 100, a remarkable milestone for any artist. Davido’s first number-one single on the chart was FEM in 2020, and since then, he has continued to dominate the Nigerian music scene with multiple hits that resonate with audiences both locally and internationally.
With You joins a list of notable tracks from 5ive that have already made waves on the charts, including Awuke featuring YG Marley and Funds, which also achieved impressive chart success. These accomplishments reflect the strength of the album and its ability to connect with listeners across diverse genres, from Afrobeats to contemporary pop.
Davido’s latest record-breaking success is a testament to his influence on the Afrobeats genre and his position as one of Nigeria’s most iconic and influential musicians. With a career spanning over a decade, the 5-time Grammy nominee has helped shape the global sound of Afrobeats, and his latest achievements only add to his legendary status.
As if his chart-topping success wasn’t enough, Davido is now gearing up for his highly anticipated 5 Alive tour. The global tour will see the star perform across several countries, with 13 confirmed dates, including major stops at the 60,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the UK, where he will headline alongside American hip-hop icon 50 Cent and multi-Grammy-winning singer Mary J. Blige. The tour will also include stops in Canada, including performances at the Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto and Place Bell in Montreal, before making its way to the United States with 10 dates across iconic venues such as the State Farm Arena in Atlanta and Barclays Center in Texas.
Fans can expect to hear a mix of Davido’s greatest hits along with fresh tracks from 5ive, as the tour promises to deliver an unforgettable live music experience. With his exceptional musical catalog, engaging performances, and the success of his new album, Davido continues to solidify his position as one of the most successful and influential artists in global music.
As With You continues to break records and dominate charts, it’s clear that Davido’s journey is far from over. With a series of groundbreaking achievements and a promising future ahead, he remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of Afrobeats and beyond.
