Wizkid breaks Spotify record with hit single ‘Piece of My Heart’

Nigerian music superstar, Wizkid, has set a new record on Spotify for the biggest first day streams by any song for his hit single Piece of My Heart, pulling 1.01 million streams.

The Grammy-winning singer had, on weekend, released the much anticipated Piece of My Heart, featuring American singer-songwriter Brent Faiyaz.

According to Turntable Charts on X, the song attained the 1.01 million milestone on the audio streaming platform on its first day of release.

The Chart wrote: Piece of My Heart with Brent Faiyaz recorded 1.01 million streams in its first day of release on Spotify Nigeria.

“It sets a new record for the biggest first-day streams by any song in Spotify Nigeria— surpassing @asakemusik and @wizkidayo’s “MMS” (870K) and “IDK” with

@Zlatan_Ibile (626K).”

Wizkid breaks his own record he previously shared with Asake for their chart-topping single “MMS” off Asake’s “Lungu Boy” album.

With this feat, “Piece of My Heart”, an R&B-infused and mid-tempo track becomes Africa’s first song to surpass 1 million opening day streams on Spotify.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the soul-stirring track released on Friday is the lead single from Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo’, which is set to drop on November 22.

The track, produced by P2J and Dpat, features smooth and heartfelt lyrics that convey unshakable love, passion and devotion.

Faiyaz delivers emotional chorus, “Nothing can tear us apart, you’ve got a piece of my heart,” while Wizkid’s compelling vocal style add depth to the emotional message.

The song is already generating buzz among music lovers, especially among Wizkid fans, as it sets the tone for what is to come from the album “Morayo.” (NAN)
