BNXN’s Bad Since ’97 Surpasses 100 Million Spotify Streams

BNXN Hits Major Milestone as ‘Bad Since ’97’ Crosses 100 Million Spotify Streams

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation BNXN has added another impressive notch to his streaming belt. His deeply personal project Bad Since ’97 has officially surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, marking yet another commercial victory for the artist formerly known as Buju. This milestone solidifies the project’s lasting impact and proves that authentic storytelling still resonates with global audiences long after the initial release buzz fades.

What makes this achievement particularly significant is that Bad Since ’97 now becomes BNXN’s fourth project to enter the 100 million stream club on the platform. This consistent performance places him firmly among Nigeria’s most reliable streaming artists, demonstrating not just fleeting popularity but genuine staying power. The project’s success stems from its masterful blend of melodic Afrobeats production and introspective lyricism that tackles universal themes—love, ambition, personal growth, and self-reflection. BNXN’s ability to balance emotional vulnerability with commercial appeal has created a body of work that listeners return to repeatedly, driving those streams higher month after month.

The longevity of Bad Since ’97 on streaming platforms speaks volumes about its artistic quality and cultural relevance. While many projects experience a spike at release before fading into obscurity, this one has maintained steady engagement from fans worldwide. BNXN’s artistic versatility shines throughout the tracklist, showcasing his range from deeply emotive ballads to infectious, radio-ready anthems. As he continues to rack up streaming milestones across multiple projects, BNXN is cementing his legacy as one of modern Afrobeats’ most commercially viable and artistically compelling voices.
