Asake has officially raised the stakes for Afrobeats streaming, shattering Wizkid’s long-standing record with the release of his latest project, M$NEY. The “Mr. Money” star continues his relentless run at the top, securing the biggest opening week for any album in Nigerian Spotify history.
Data reveals that M$NEY pulled in a staggering 42.2 million streams in its first week on the platform, comfortably overtaking the 35.8 million streams record previously set by Wizkid’s Morayo. This milestone isn’t just a win for Asake; it’s a clear signal of his massive commercial gravity as he dominates both the charts and global social media discourse.
This record-breaking feat caps off a historic 2026 for the artist, proving that his momentum is only accelerating. By claiming one of the most prestigious streaming titles in Nigeria, Asake has underscored the explosive growth and global reach of the Afrobeats movement.
