Burna Boy has overtaken Wizkid to become the best-selling African artist of all time in the modern streaming era, according to music monitoring data cited by multiple outlets. Both reports say the assessment is based on metrics from ChartMasters, a global music analytics platform that tracks modern Equivalent Album Sales. They report that Burna Boy leads with more than 14.46 million global Equivalent Album Sales, positioning him above Wizkid on the all-time African artist ranking in the streaming period. One outlet also adds that the figure is supported by large audience engagement, including claims of roughly 800 million monthly YouTube listeners. The reports frame the change as a ranking update in streaming-era consumption and sales equivalents rather than a statement about physical sales, indicating that the comparison is driven by aggregated streaming and related consumption measures.
