Bien is the most streamed artist in Kenya as of Spotify’s 2024 wrap

Spotify Wrapped 2024 is here, offering a fascinating look at the music that has shaped Kenya this year.

As the most-streamed local artist, Bien Aime Baraza is at the top of the charts. Her captivating solo career continues to enthrall admirers all around the country.

Bien has continuously produced genuine Afropop songs that have taken over playlists and hearts since Sauti Sol’s 2023 break. Household names like Wakadinali, Bensoul, Lil Maina, Nyashinski, Okello Max, Chris Kaiga, Nviiri the Storyteller, Sauti Sol, and Otile Brown have joined him as one of Kenya’s most streamed artists.

Interesting generational differences in Kenyan music tastes may be seen in the data from Spotify. Gospel musicians Israel Mbonyi and Christina Shusho’s soul-stirring tunes provide solace to older fans, while younger audiences are drawn to emerging singers like Lil Maina and sosatheprodigyy’s Nakam Sai.

In terms of the year’s best Kenyan songs, hits like Kudade, Set It, Inauma, Anguka Nayo, and Ma Cherie have dominated the country’s radio stations and cemented their position on playlists.

Kenyans listen to a variety of artists, including Drake, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift.

With the help of the Spotify mobile app for iOS and Android, customers can now fully immerse themselves in their customized 2024 Wrapped celebration. The year’s top artists’ music videos are shown in a carefully crafted playlist for premium users.

Wrapped has never been simpler to share. Because Spotify and TikTok have integrated, users can easily share their musical preferences on TikTok’s tales and For You Page in addition to other preferred social media platforms.
