The Nigerian music scene is moving fast, but right now one name is dominating the conversation: Asake.
The artist has just made Apple Music Nigeria history, becoming the first Nigerian artist to have four projects simultaneously charting in the Top 10 of the Apple Music Nigeria Albums Chart — a remarkable achievement in one of the world’s fastest-growing music markets.
Four Projects, One Powerful Statement
According to recent chart updates, the following projects are all sitting in the Top 10 at the same time:
-
REAL Vol. 1 (EP with Wizkid & Asake)
-
Work of Art
-
Mr. Money With The Vibe
-
Lungu Boy
The fact that REAL Vol. 1 is currently sitting near the top highlights something important: Asake’s strength isn’t limited to his solo catalog — his collaborations also carry massive cultural weight.
In an industry where new releases fight for attention every week, holding four projects simultaneously in the Top 10 is a rare level of dominance.
The Momentum Since Work of Art
At HipHopadellic, we’ve been watching Asake closely since the release of Work of Art in 2023.
For many listeners, that project marked the moment when the hype around the artist transformed into a real global breakthrough. Since then, his momentum hasn’t slowed down — if anything, it’s accelerated.
With multiple successful projects and an expanding international audience, Asake has steadily cemented his position among the most influential voices coming out of Africa right now.
Collaborations at the Highest Level
Asake’s feature list shows how far his influence has reached.
Working with artists like Wizkid and Central Cee, he has stepped into a space where Afrobeats, hip-hop, and global pop increasingly overlap.
These collaborations demonstrate that the sound emerging from Nigeria isn’t just regional anymore — it’s shaping the global music conversation.
HIPHOPADELLIC Take
What Asake just accomplished isn’t just a chart statistic — it’s a cultural milestone.
Having four projects simultaneously dominating the Apple Music charts shows something deeper than hype: it reflects a catalog that listeners continue to return to, a consistent quality level, and a cultural relevance that extends far beyond one single release.
That’s exactly why Asake has been firmly on our radar since Work of Art — and moments like this prove that the global rise of African music is only getting stronger.
