Entertainment

December 2, 2024

Asake continues his chart domination with his third album, Lungu Boy, which has made history by becoming the longest-charting number-one album on the TurnTable album chart. The album has spent 15 weeks at the top since its release on August 8, 2024, setting a new record.

This achievement adds to Asake’s growing list of successes, as he also holds the record for the longest-charting song on the TurnTable Charts with his hit single Lonely At The Top, which spent 11 weeks at number one in 2023.

Since breaking into mainstream music in 2022, Asake has become a superstar with consecutive hits from his albums Mr Money With The Vibes and Work Of Art. Lungu Boy features collaborations with Stormzy, Central Cee, Anais Cardot, and Wizkid.

Asake’s single MMS, featuring Wizkid, has earned a nomination for Best African Song Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards, marking his second nomination in two years. With this continued success, Asake’s impact on Nigerian music remains unmatched, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
