Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems has reached a significant milestone in her career, achieving her biggest streaming day of all time on Spotify.

On June 7th, Tems garnered an impressive 8.028 million streams following the release of her highly anticipated debut album, Born In the Wild.

The album, which hit streaming platforms on June 6, accumulated 5.33 million streams on its first full day of release, marking it the second-largest debut for a female Nigerian artist on Spotify. Tems now trails only Ayra Starr’s The Year I Turned 21, which holds the top spot with 6.3 million streams.

When asked about the inspiration behind Born In the Wild, Tems explained, “This album is a story of transformation, from a cocoon to a butterfly. It speaks on surviving mental wilderness and coming to a place where one can thrive. It’s about finally accepting oneself and embodying the woman I was born to be. It shows the different dimensions of who I am, from a cub to a lioness.”

The 18-track album features notable collaborations with J. Cole and Asake, adding to its wide appeal. Fans were treated to a preview of the album during Tems’ captivating TINY DESK performance earlier this week, where she debuted two new tracks, “Unfortunate” and “Forever.”

Additionally, Tems recently appeared as a special musical guest on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, delivering an angelic medley of her latest single “Love Me Jeje” and the live debut of the album’s title track, “Born In the Wild.”

Tems is gearing up for her first-ever headlining world tour, aptly named the Born In the Wild World Tour. The global trek will commence on Wednesday, June 12, in London at Eventim Apollo, with subsequent stops across Europe and North America. The tour will then head to Africa before wrapping up in Australia at The Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on November 15.
