Davido remains a trailblazer in Nigerian music.
In yet another significant achievement, the singer broke the previous record for the longest week of music streaming across all Nigerian platforms.
The record is courtesy of his new single ‘Funds’ featuring Chike and OdumoduBlvck which garnered 7.38 million streams in its opening week. This surpassing the previous record of 7.29 million streams set by Asake ‘MMS’ featuring Wizkid.
‘Funds’ joins Boy Pee, Hyce, and Brown Joel’s ‘Ogechi’ remix, and Kizz Daniel’s ‘Twe Twe’ remix featuring the singer to make it his third song in the top 5 list of the highest streaming opening week in Nigeria.
Davido’s ‘Fund’ is a highlife fusion that delivers his quintessential vibrant delivery complimented by Chike’s smooth melodies and OdumoduBlvck’s swaggering flows.
The song reached the summit of the TurnTable Top 100 thus becoming Davido’s fourth #1 song of 2024 as it follows in the footsteps of ‘Twe Twe’ remix, ‘Ogechi’ remix, and ‘Awuke’ featuring YG Marley.
This new record also restates the singer’s status as one of Nigeria’s leading superstars whose music continues to push the commercial boundaries of Nigerian music.
The second single from Davido’s planned fifth album, “Five,” which is set for release on March 14, 2025, is titled “Funds.”
