Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has added another remarkable milestone to his already historic catalog. His fifth studio album, More Love, Less Ego, has officially surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify, becoming his third project to achieve the feat on the platform.
For Wizkid who is widely regarded as the GOAT of Nigerian and African music at large, this feat goes to prove how consistent he has been throughout his career, having 3 projects over 300 million streams on Spotify.
Released on November 11, 2022, More Love, Less Ego arrived at a critical moment in Wizkid’s career. Coming after the global and cultural impact of Made in Lagos, expectations were understandably high. Instead of chasing loud crossover moments, Wizkid leaned into a smoother, more intimate and soulful sound built on lush production, subtle melodies, and emotional restraint.
The album featured standout tracks such as Bad to Me, Balance, Money and Love, and 2 Sugar featuring Ayra Starr. These records helped bring the listeners in and drive early momentum while the full project continued to accumulate streams steadily over time. The album also showcased a global mix of collaborators including Skepta, Don Toliver and Shenseea. The diversity of features was pivotal in broadening its reach across markets.
This milestone places the album alongside Wizkid’s other streaming heavyweights, with Made in Lagos still atop as his most streamed body of work. More Love, Less Ego now joins the 300 million club. The milestone for More Love, Less Ego is more than a number. It is proof of sustained listener engagement and that alone tells you how much quality the project possesses.
