Asake’s third studio album, Lungu Boy, has made history as the longest-charting number-one album on Nigeria’s leading music chart, TurnTable Charts.
The album, which debuted on August 8, 2024, has dominated the chart for an impressive 15 weeks, maintaining its top position since its release.
This achievement further solidifies Asake’s status as a dominant force in the Nigerian music industry. With Lungu Boy, Asake now holds the record for both the longest-charting album and the longest-charting song on the TurnTable Charts.
In 2023, his hit single Lonely At The Top broke records by staying at number one for 12 weeks, surpassing Omah Lay’s Godly, which held the previous record at 11 weeks.
Since his breakthrough in 2022, Asake has risen to superstardom with a string of hits housed in critically acclaimed albums like Mr. Money With The Vibes and Work of Art. Lungu Boy continues this streak, featuring collaborations with international stars such as Stormzy, Central Cee, Anaïs Cardot, and Wizkid.
The standout track MMS featuring Wizkid has earned Asake a nomination for Best African Song Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards, marking his second Grammy nod in two years.
Asake’s consistent chart dominance and cross-border appeal have been described as unprecedented in Nigerian mainstream music.
With Lungu Boy’s remarkable digital success and sustained popularity, Asake is showing no signs of slowing down as he continues to set new standards in the industry.
