The year saw six Tanzanian artists joining the Boomplay Golden club with Tanzania being second to have a lot of artists after Nigeria.
To close out the beautiful year in music, Africa's #1 music streaming and download service, Boomplay, has released its much-anticipated annual recap. The #BoomplayRecap2022 provides an overview of music consumption and insights into listeners' musical tastes and preferences for the year. Also, it enables fans and subscribers to discover their personalised lists of top songs, artists, albums, and genres.
Boomplay Recap presents data and insights into music consumption and engagement on Boomplay reviewed under a specific period. It profiles and segments music data by country, artists and users and, by doing so, provides an actual reflection of music listenership and engagement habits of local music industries in Africa.
The authenticity and relevance of Boomplay’s data and charts as the accurate picture of music consumption are based on Boomplay’s user base, which is largely the lower and middle-class demographic, the largest population segment on the continent.
Thus it is more inclusive and captures the on-the-ground music taste and habits of music consumers. Streaming on Boomplay grew in 2022 by 248%, buoyed by its 88 million monthly active users and a record increase in Boomplay’s catalogue to over 90 million songs.
For the year 2022, Boomplay Recap by country highlights categories including Top Male Artists, Top Female Artists, Top Booming Artists, Most Streamed Songs and Albums, among others, while Recap for Artists shares 2022 stats of individual artists, including the Total Streams, Hours Streamed, Listeners, Most Streamed Song and Most Streamed Countries.
On the other hand, users on Boomplay (Boombuddies) will have access to personalised results of their music consumption and engagement on Boomplay through the users' recap which highlights their 2022 music journey by revealing details such as the number of songs they listened to, their top genres, discoveries, top artists, songs they had on repeat and many more interesting personal insights.
