Amapiano sensation Kelvin Momo is once again rewriting South African music history with his latest album, Thato Ya Modimo. Released just over a week ago, the album has already made waves by becoming the fastest ever to hit 9 million streams on South Africa’s Spotify—achieving this feat in only 11 days.
The 29-track album, which dropped ahead of his celebrated performance at the Red Bull Symphonic concert, solidifies Kelvin Momo’s status as a leading force in the local music scene. Notably, he joins an elite group of only three South African artists to reach one million streams within two days of an album release.
Fans took to social media to praise the groundbreaking success, with user @2022AFRICA highlighting the milestone:
