The recently released track, “MSP,” which is part of Nasty C’s new album FREE, achieved this milestone in merely two weeks, breaking the previous record held by Miss Pru DJ.
Miss Pru, known for her hit single Price to Pay, took 10 weeks to reach the same 100K mark on local Spotify charts. DJ Speedsta’s ability to achieve this in just one-fifth of the time illustrates the strong reception of his latest work and his connection with audiences in the current streaming landscape.
Furthermore, this accomplishment is impressive considering the figures do not include streams from other sources outside Spotify’s daily rankings. This indicates that the traction garnered by MSP within the chart parameters alone was sufficient to establish a new national record.
DJ Speedsta, recognized for his ability to produce tracks that combine radio success with authenticity, has been a key player in the South African Hip Hop scene for quite some time. This new high point marks a significant evolution in his musical journey, characterized by rapid streaming growth and strong fan allegiance.
Comparing this achievement with Miss Pru’s Price to Pay highlights the swift changes occurring in today’s streaming environment. While her accomplishments were notable at that time, Speedsta’s recent achievement reflects the evolving digital music landscape where viral success and audience engagement can lead to remarkable achievements in surprisingly short periods.
