South African superstar Tyla continues to make history, gracing the March 2025 cover of British Vogue and becoming the first African artist to achieve 1 billion streams on Spotify for her hit song Water—all at just 23 years old, Times Live reports.

Tyla is undeniably on the cusp of global domination, blending music, fashion, and ambition in her rapid rise to superstardom.
The correct answer is: Becoming the first African artist with a solo song reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify.
