Nigerian Afrobeats star and Rivers state born Omah Lay has achieved a major streaming milestone as his hit single ‘Soso’ officially surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify, making it the singer’s first song to reach such numbers on the global music platform.
The track, which appears on his 2022 debut album “Boy Alone”, has steadily grown into a fan favorite both locally and internationally, blending soulful vulnerability with a catchy, melancholic vibe that resonated deeply with listeners worldwide.
Released during a time when Omah Lay was becoming a voice for emotionally raw Afropop, ‘Soso’ became a defining hit, praised for its lyrical honesty, haunting melody, and stripped-down production. It quickly became a viral anthem and a concert staple, with millions streaming it on repeat.
Fans and industry watchers alike celebrated the achievement across social media, calling it a testament to Omah Lay’s enduring impact on the new wave of Afrobeats and Nigerian alt-pop music.
This streaming landmark not only cements Omah Lay’s place among Nigeria’s global breakout artists but also signals his growing dominance in the digital music era, alongside fellow chart-toppers like Rema, Ayra Starr, and Fireboy DML.
With new music reportedly in the works, Omah Lay’s rise shows no signs of slowing down — and ‘Soso’ just might be the first of many songs to hit such historic heights.
