Grammy Award-winning star Tyla’s self-titled debut album, TYLA, also made it onto the most-streamed albums list, taking the number four spot just below Kabza De Small, Chris Brown, and Kelvin Momo.
International artists also remain strong contenders, with Chris Brown’s 11:11, SZA’s SOS, and Drake’s For All The Dogs earning places on the albums list.
Billie Eilish’s latest release, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, also secured a spot, coming in at number seven.
