Ayra Starr unlocks a new career milestone with 'The Year I Turned 21'

Ayra Starr is showing zero signs of slowing down as the singer unlocked a career milestone on the Billboard charts with her album, 'The Year I Turned 21.'

Nigerian female singer, Ayra Starr has achieved another major milestone as her sophomore album, The Year I Turned 21, becomes the second-ever album by a Nigerian female artist to spend 30 weeks on the Billboard World Albums chart.

The project, which was released last year, has continued to enjoy global recognition, solidifying Ayra Starr’s position as one of Afrobeats' leading voices. With hit singles like "Comma" and "Bad Vibes", the album has resonated with fans worldwide, blending Afrobeats, R&B, and Pop influences seamlessly.

This achievement places Ayra Starr in an elite category, following in the footsteps of Tems, whose 2021 EP, If Orange Was A Place, was the first by a Nigerian female act to spend an extended period on the Billboard World Albums chart.

Since rising to fame with her breakout single "Away" in 2021, Ayra Starr has consistently delivered chart-topping hits and carved out a unique space in the Afrobeats scene. The Year I Turned 21 not only showcases her growth as an artist but also reflects her expanding influence on the global stage.

Her latest achievement further highlights the increasing recognition of Nigerian female artists in the international music industry. As Afrobeats continues to gain global traction, Ayra Starr’s success sets the stage for even more groundbreaking moments in her career.
