Nigerian artist Asake continues to solidify his place in the music world with his debut album, Mr Money with the Vibe, achieving a major milestone by extending its reign as the longest-charting Top 10 album in Nigeria’s Spotify history.
Released in 2022, Mr Money with the Vibe became an instant sensation, blending Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Fuji influences to create a fresh sound that resonated with fans both in Nigeria and globally. The album not only captured the essence of the evolving Nigerian music scene but also produced multiple hit singles, including “Joha,” “Terminator,” and “Dull,” which became anthems on the streets and clubs alike.
Fast forward to 2025, and Mr Money with the Vibe remains a dominant force in the music industry, securing its spot in Nigeria’s Spotify Top 10 for an incredible period. This achievement is especially noteworthy considering how quickly albums in today’s fast-paced music industry can fade. Asake’s ability to keep his project relevant two years post-release speaks volumes about both his artistic ability and his loyal fanbase.
This record-breaking streak highlights the timeless appeal of the album, and it’s a testament to Asake’s musical innovation and broad appeal. His success continues to set new benchmarks for African artists, as he continues to captivate listeners with his blend of modern Afrobeat sounds.
With this milestone, Asake’s influence on the Nigerian music scene is undeniable. His continued success ensures that Mr Money with the Vibe will go down as one of the most iconic albums of the Afrobeats movement, shaping the future of the genre for years to come.
