The Grammy-winning singer had on weekend released the much anticipated “Piece of My Heart,” featuring American singer-songwriter Brent Faiyaz.

According to Turntable Charts on  X, the song attained the 1.01 million milestone on the audio streaming platform on its first day of release.

The Chart wrote: “Piece of My Heart” with Brent Faiyaz recorded 1.01 million streams in its first day of release on Spotify Nigeria.

“It sets a new record for the biggest first-day streams by any song in Spotify Nigeria— surpassing @asakemusik and @wizkidayo’s “MMS” (870K) and “IDK” with @Zlatan_Ibile (626K).”

Wizkid breaks his own record he previously shared with Asake for their chart-topping single “MMS” off Asake’s “Lungu Boy” album.

With this feat, “Piece of My Heart”, an R&B-infused and mid-tempo track becomes Africa’s first song to surpass 1 million opening day streams on Spotify.

The soul-stirring track released on Friday is the lead single from Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo’, which is set to drop on November 22.

“Piece of My Heart”, a scintillating collaboration, showcases the perfect blend of Wizkid’s Afrobeats sound with Brent Faiyaz’s R&B flair.
