Tems’ Born in the Wild Dominates Spotify Charts

Nigerian sensation Tems continues her meteoric rise as her debut studio album Born in the Wild becomes one of the most streamed projects on Spotify, cementing her status as a leading African artist with global reach. The milestone highlights her influence across R&B and Afrobeats and marks a major moment for African music on streaming platforms.

Born in the Wild, released on 7 June 2024  has achieved massive success on Spotify, ranking as one of the top streamed projects among African artists globally. According to Spotify streaming charts, the album has amassed over 690 million streams, making it one of Tems’ most popular releases to date.

This makes Born in the Wild stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her previous celebrated works, including her EP For Broken Ears which also enjoys hundreds of millions of plays, highlighting Tems’ consistent ability to connect deeply with listeners around the world.

Born in the Wild is more than just a commercial triumph; it’s a deeply personal narrative. Tems has described the album’s title and journey as emblematic of survival, growth, and self-discovery, a reflection of her own experiences and artistic evolution.

The album’s soundscape beautifully fuses mellow grooves with powerful storytelling, ensuring it resonates with both R&B purists and fans of contemporary Afro-centric music.

Following the success of Born in the Wild, Tems surprised fans in November 2025 with a new EP titled Love Is a Kingdom, further expanding her discography and cementing her status as one of Africa’s most nuanced voices in modern music.

With global tours, award nominations, and industry milestones under her belt, Tems is not just an African star — she’s a global musical force shaping the future of cross-genre sound.
