Did You know Most Skipped Tracks on streaming platforms That’s right, “Intro” tracks on most albums are the most skipped track — often within the first 5 to 15 seconds. Infact, many Afrobeats albums include skits or spoken-word intros that fans skip in favor of the vibe-heavy tracks. This happens because of one or more of the reasons spelt put below: • Listeners Are ImpatientPeople nowadays stream music like their going through a TikTok page. Hence, one a track doesn’t hook immediately, they skip. Intro tracks however falls into this category as most intro tracks are usually slow builds, instrumentals, or spoken word. Most people want instant energy or emotion. • Intros that don’t immediately feature the artist’s voice.An example is “Start” on Asake’s Lungu Boy. • People Already Know What Song They WantMost listeners already have an idea what they want to listen to either through tiktok, radio or playlists so they just skip the intro. • Playlists Have Trained Our EarsWe’ve become used to curated playlists with back-to-back bangers that intros now feel like a delay or unwanted part of the gem. @Alaro Basit

.Did you know that Africa never had a music category at the Grammy Awards until 2024? That’s right! The first ever African music category at the Grammy Awards known as “Best African Music Performance” never existed until last year when Tyla, the South African music star, won it with her song titled “Water”. The award seeks to celebrate Afrobeats, Amapiano, and other African styles on the global stage, and other nominees for this particular award included Asake & Olamide’s “Amapiano”, Burna’s “City Boy”, Davido ft Musa Keys’ “Unavailable” and Ayra Starr’s “Rush”. This matters a lot because it is the first Grammy award category to be dedicated specifically to African music and it purports to celebrate African music genres including Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro-fusion, Highlife, Gqom and the likes.  It doesn’t look like much but it marks the formal recognition of Africa’s cultural and economic influence in global music. Overtime, African artists had been dominating streaming charts, and selling out concerts but never had a global music award of their own until 2024. It should however be noted that some African artists, like Wizkid and Burna Boy, had already won Grammys before this category existed. @Alaro_Basit
