R2Bees’ Classic “Over” Becomes Their Most Streamed Song Ever on Spotify

Ghanaian music duo R2Bees have reached a significant career milestone on Spotify, with their hit track “Over” officially becoming the most-streamed song in their catalog, overtaking their long-time leader “Slow Down” featuring Wizkid.

According to the latest Spotify figures, “Over” has accumulated 29,420,030 streams, narrowly surpassing “Slow Down (feat. Wizkid)”, which stands at 29,298,727 streams. The margin is slim—just over 121,000 streams—but it marks a clear shift at the top of R2Bees’ all-time Spotify rankings.“Over,” released in 2017, has experienced a strong resurgence in recent months, driven by consistent daily streaming gains, playlist placements, and viral moments on social media platforms like TikTok.

The high-energy Afrobeats track has clearly resonated with both longtime fans and new global listeners.R2Bees, composed of Omar Sterling and Mugeez, have been influential figures in Ghana’s music industry since the late 2000s. Their sound, which fuses hiplife, Afrobeats, and dance-ready rhythms, helped shape the modern Ghanaian music landscape and contributed to the broader rise of Afrobeats globally. While “Slow Down” — their massive 2014 collaboration with Wizkid — had held the top spot for years thanks to its smooth, romantic appeal, “Over” has now claimed the crown through sustained momentum.

This achievement highlights the enduring power of R2Bees’ catalog in the streaming era. In an industry often dominated by new releases, classic Ghanaian tracks continue to grow their audiences years after dropping, thanks to algorithmic recommendations, social trends, and the duo’s dedicated fanbase. The milestone comes as R2Bees maintain strong monthly listenership on Spotify, currently sitting at over 2.4 million. It further demonstrates the deep catalog value of pioneering Ghanaian acts amid the global explosion of Afrobeats.

Fans and industry watchers have welcomed the news, celebrating it as proof of the timeless quality of R2Bees’ music. Many view the overtake as a proud moment for Ghanaian sound, especially as older hits compete with fresh releases for streaming dominance. As streaming metrics play an increasingly important role in artist recognition, award considerations, and international opportunities, this shift reinforces the global reach and lasting impact of R2Bees’ work.
