Moliy Pips Amaarae To Become The Biggest GH Artiste On Spotify By Monthly Listeners

• Moliy has overthrown Amaarae to become Spotify's biggest creator from Ghana with over 5.6 million listeners
• She overthrows Amaarae, who has been the most-streamed Ghanaian artiste on the platform since the release of her album
• The singer's milestone comes weeks after her performance with Jamaican dancehall legend Vybz Kartel in New York

Ghanaian singer Moliy has overthrown Amaarae to become Ghana's biggest creator on Spotify by monthly listeners.

As of April 16, Moliy's Spotify listeners had risen to 5.6 million, slightly edging Amaarae, who has had the position for over a year.

A huge part of the singer's surge in traction follows the success of her Shake It To The Max single, which has now got a remix version with Skillibeng and Shensea.

Moliy's Shake It To The Max with its infectious dance challenge became an instant hit on TikTok even before the song's official release.

Over 23000 videos have been created by TikTok users across Africa and the rest of the world using the song.

The singer has also earned her endorsement from top stars, including Stonebwoy and Steflon Don.

Recently, she had a cameo with Skillibeng and Shensea performing Shake It To The Max at Vybz Kartel's epic run in the US.

While Moliy's stocks continue to rise off Shake it to the Max, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh argues that the singer's efforts are steadily and silently building her brand deserve applause.

@CleenSleit shared:

"LOL monthly listeners is the most useless stat ever, don’t know why yall celebrate it. It doesn’t mean anything, typical example is Kendrick his monthly listeners went up to 115 million and he was still getting outsreamed by someone with 75m listeners lol."

@Frank4391044882 added:

"Moliy is Ghanaian based. Amaarae is and has been US based. Which one is more difficult to achieve From ghana or us. The have the same singing styles and sound similar btw."
