Wizkid has joined his fellow countryman Burna Boy as the Nigerian artist to have the most charting albums in Billboard 200 history. His latest album, Morayo, entered at number 98, with 13,000 units earned in its first week.
This brings Wizkid’s total to four albums on the prestigious chart, matching Burna Boy’s record. Music tracking platform Chart Data confirmed this, writing: “Wizkid ties Burna Boy as the Nigerian artist with the most charting albums in Billboard 200 history.”
But that is not all; Morayo reached number 4 on the Billboard World Albums chart, further sealing Wizkid’s global influence.
Meanwhile, Davido might join the record holders any moment now. With three albums on the chart, his upcoming fifth studio album, 5IVE, may add him to the tie next year. The competition among Nigerian stars keeps pushing Afrobeat’s reach to new highs.
