Tyla Is Currently South Africa’s Biggest Artist on Spotify

In a groundbreaking turn of events, Tyla has soared to the pinnacle of South African music on Spotify, where she commands an impressive 4.1 million devoted monthly listeners. Surpassing notable contenders such as Kabza De Small (1.6 million listeners), Black Coffee (2.2 million listeners), DJ Maphorisa (2.8 million listeners), and Master KG (3.5 million listeners), Tyla’s meteoric rise has solidified her status as the reigning queen of South African music on the global stage.

The catalyst for Tyla’s ascent was her chart-topping release, “Water,” which served as her ticket to international recognition.
