Why is Davido’s 5ive album breaking records?
When 5ive dropped, it made history almost immediately. The project recorded more than 9 million streams in a single day on Spotify Nigeria, the highest single-day number for any album released in the country in 2025. Since then, it has crossed 200 million streams globally, putting it ahead of every other Nigerian album this year.
Fans praise the project for its energy, production quality, and mix of features. With songs from the album dominating playlists, it’s no surprise that 5ive has secured its place as 2025’s top Nigerian album.
What does this achievement mean for Nigerian music in 2025?
Davido’s success shows how competitive Afrobeats has become on global platforms. It also proves that Nigerian artists are not just leading within Africa but are also charting strongly worldwide. Holding both the top album and top song spots on Spotify in the same year is rare, and it cements Davido’s influence in 2025.
Will With You and 5ive stay at the top?
Streaming numbers shift quickly. Other artists like Rema, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr continue to push massive numbers on Spotify. However, as things stand now, Davido has written a new record in 2025 by claiming both crowns at once.
