This was disclosed in a statement issued in Lagos, Nigeria by Spotify’s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa Phiona Okumu.

Okumu said, “Spotify data reveals a surprising trend, a massive surge in heartbreak song streams.

“Nigerians are turning to their playlists to express their emotions, with a staggering 626 per cent overall growth in heartbreak streams from 2022 to 2024.

“This Valentine, the sound of love is accompanied by the sound of heartbreak, and the data shows it’s louder than ever before.”

She said on Valentine’s Day, most surprisingly, male listeners streamed heartbreak songs at a significantly higher rate than female listeners, with a 362 per cent increase compared to 169 per cent among women.

“This could suggest that men resonate with the feeling of heartbreak more and turn to music as a private outlet for processing emotions.

“Whatever the reason, one thing is clear, when love is in the air, so is heartbreak and Nigerian men are pressing play on their pain more than expected.

“While Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with grand gestures, heartbreak is a common theme on Valentine’s Day -more than what’s publicly shown,” she said.

Nigerians joined their counterparts across the world to mark the 2025 Valentine’s Day last Friday.
