Asake achieves record-breaking debut week with “M$NEY” on Spotify Nigeria

Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has set a new benchmark on Spotify, with his latest album M$NEY recording the biggest opening week for any album on Spotify Nigeria.

Released just a week ago, the project has already surpassed the previous record held by Wizkid’s 2024 album Morayo, underscoring Asake’s growing influence in Nigeria’s digital music landscape.

The achievement adds another milestone to the singer’s rapidly expanding career. Since breaking into the mainstream, Asake has become one of the most commercially successful artists in Afrobeats, known for blending Fuji-inspired sounds with street-hop and contemporary pop production.

Industry observers say the strong debut reflects not only Asake’s popularity at home but also the increasing global appetite for Afrobeats, which continues to dominate streaming charts and international music markets.

The record-breaking performance on Spotify Nigeria reinforces Asake’s position as one of the genre’s most bankable stars and highlights the growing role of streaming platforms in shaping music consumption across Africa.

With M$NEY already setting new standards within days of its release, the album is expected to maintain strong momentum in the coming weeks as fans continue to stream the project both in Nigeria and abroad.
