86.9 million streams: Black Sherif leads Ghanaians in Nigeria
The Ghanaian singer dominates his compatriots in the mid-year Nigerian rankings, with 86.9 million streams recorded in the first half of 2026.
Black Sherif has risen to the top of the list of the most-streamed Ghanaian artists in Nigeria halfway through 2026. The singer has amassed 86.9 million streams during this period, according to the mid-year report released by TurnTable Charts.
This volume also earns him the 19th spot in the overall ranking of the most-listened-to artists in the country. He surpasses all other Ghanaian musicians listed in this report, within a market largely dominated by Nigerian stars.
His album “IRON BOY” accounts for a significant portion of this performance. The project has accumulated 50.37 million streams in Nigeria and holds the top position among non-Nigerian albums listened to during the first half of the year.
The simultaneous presence of the artist and his album in these two rankings reflects the circulation of his catalog beyond Ghana. The figures were shared on Monday, September 14, and Tuesday, September 15, by several platforms specializing in tracking African music charts.
This new statistic comes less than a week after the breakthrough of his other project, “SUN SHERIF.” On September 9, its six tracks had entered the Top 14 on Apple Music in Ghana.
