Asake continues to dominate the music charts with his groundbreaking third album, Lungu Boy, which solidified his position as a Nigerian music powerhouse.
Following the massive success of his first two albums, the artist has now etched his name in music history. He achieved an unprecedented milestone on the TurnTable album chart.
Since its release on August 8, 2024, ‘Lungu Boy’ has maintained an impressive 15-week reign at the number-one spot, breaking the record for the longest-charting album on the prestigious chart.
This achievement builds upon Asake’s previous record-breaking success. His 2023 hit single ‘Lonely At The Top’ dethroned Omah Lay’s ‘Godly’ as the longest-charting number-one song after 11 weeks.
Bursting onto the mainstream scene in 2022, Asake rapidly transformed into a global superstar by consistently delivering hit albums.
His previous works, ‘Mr Money With The Vibes’ and ‘Work Of Art,’ laid the groundwork for his musical dominance.
‘Lungu Boy’ further cements the artistic prowess of Asake. It features an impressive lineup of international collaborators, including Stormzy, Central Cee, Anais Cardot, and Wizkid.
The album’s track ‘M’MMS,’ featuring Wizkid, has already garnered significant acclaim, securing a nomination for Best African Song Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards.
This marks Asake’s second Grammy nomination in two consecutive years, a testament to his growing international recognition and musical innovation.
Music critics and fans alike have declared Asake’s mainstream run unprecedented in Nigerian music history. With ‘Lungu Boy’ continuing to achieve digital success and breaking chart records, the artist shows no signs of slowing down.
Asake has not just created an album; he has crafted a cultural phenomenon that continues to push the boundaries of contemporary African music.
