Spotify revealed its annual ranking of leading female Afrobeats performers with Ayra Starr claiming the premier position. The streaming platform described the Nigerian artist as the genre's pop star representative. Grammy winner Tems secured second place while American-Cameroonian performer Libianca earned third position. Malian-French musician Aya Nakamura and British-Nigerian artist Darkoo rounded out the rankings at fourth and fifth respectively.
South African performer Tyla failed to appear on the compilation despite collecting major Afrobeats accolades throughout the previous year. The platform simultaneously published Latin American region preferences for Afrobeats talent. Nigerian musicians dominated this separate classification entirely with Rema leading followed by Ayra Starr and CKay. Burna Boy and Wizkid occupied the final two positions on the regional chart.
