Asake’s ‘Lungu Boy’ goes #1 in the UK & 16 other countries

The singer’s new album ‘Lungu Boy‘ has followed the paths of his first two albums as regards the UK scene.

Nigerian ace singer and performer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has gone #1 on the Apple music chart in the United Kingdom.

The YBNL-Empire artiste released his new album on Friday, August 9, 2024, and the highly experimental album, which features Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid, American rapper Travis Scott, Brazilian songstress Ludmilla, and British rappers Stormzy and Central Cee, is already garnering influential stream numbers and equally dominating the charts both locally and internationally.

As the momentum for the album continues to grow, ‘Lungu Boy‘ also reached #1 on the Apple Music UK Chart, following the path of his debut album ‘Mr. Money With The Vibe‘ and his sophomore album ‘Work of Art‘, making it his third project to achieve the feat.

Away from the UK, the album has also reached #1 on Apple Music in the singer’s home country, Nigeria, Benin, Gambia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Kenya, Liberia, Senegal, Tanzania, Niger, Uganda, Ghana, Malawi, Ireland, and Senegal.

Just like it has gained momentum in the US, this feat waters the ground for Asake in the United Kingdom, as he is expected to headline at the iconic 20,000-capacity 02 Arena for the second time as part of the upcoming ‘Lungu Boy‘ world tour stops.
