Ayra Starr has given fans another reason to celebrate.
Her new album, “Starrgirl,” has topped Billboard’s latest new music poll after fans voted it their favourite release of the week.
The win puts the Nigerian star ahead of a crowded group of new releases and adds fresh momentum to an album that has already generated plenty of attention.
“Starrgirl” is Ayra Starr’s third studio album, and fans clearly wasted no time making their feelings known. When Billboard opened its weekly poll, listeners turned up for the project and pushed it to the top.
The result is another international moment for the singer, whose rise has taken her from Mavin Records’ breakout star to one of Afrobeats’ most recognisable young voices.
Her fans have followed every stage of that journey, and this time they made the statement themselves.
Billboard asked which new release they loved most.
They picked Ayra Starr.
