Kelvin Momo’s Streaming Legacy : Album Surpass 30 Million Streams

Kelvin Momo has become one of South Africa’s most consistent amapiano hitmakers. His latest album, Thato Ya Modimo, released on May 30, 2025, made history as the most streamed album in the first 24 hours on Spotify South Africa, earning 1.8 million plays in a single day.

The 29-track album quickly crossed 10 million total streams across all platforms within days of release, according to Music in Africa and Kaya 959. The success reinforced Kelvin Momo’s dominance in the amapiano scene and his steady rise as one of the genre’s top global exports.

 

All Albums Hit Major Milestones

Momo’s streaming power doesn’t stop there. Every project he has released has now surpassed 20 million streams on Spotify South Africa alone. His 2024 album Sewe maintained long-term popularity, while Ntsako reached over 30 million streams, according to The Yanos.

This makes Kelvin Momo one of the few South African artists with a full catalog performing at that level. His consistency proves that amapiano isn’t just a trend — it’s a global movement powered by staying power and craftsmanship.

 

Why Fans Keep Coming Back

Listeners connect with Momo’s soulful production and deep-house-inspired sound. Instead of chasing viral singles, he focuses on long albums built for replay. Fans often describe his music as “spiritual” or “timeless,” and that loyalty shows in his numbers.

Industry insiders say Momo’s ability to mix jazz, deep house, and amapiano has set him apart. Each release feels complete — something few producers maintain across multiple projects.

Looking Ahead

With Thato Ya Modimo breaking records and his catalog streaming past 20 million per album, Kelvin Momo is already setting up for his next chapter. The question now isn’t whether he can top his numbers — it’s how much further he’ll push amapiano on the world stage.
