Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake has set yet another milestone with his third studio album, Lungu Boy.



Released on August 8, 2024, the album has achieved an incredible 15 weeks at the top of the TurnTable Albums Chart, marking it as the longest-charting number-one album in the chart's history.

This feat cements Asake’s dominance on the Nigerian music scene, as he now holds records for both the longest-charting album and song on the TurnTable Charts. In 2023, his smash hit Lonely At The Top dethroned Omah Lay’s Godly, holding the number-one spot for an impressive 11 weeks.

Following the massive success of his previous albums—Mr. Money With The Vibes and Work Of Art—Asake’s Lungu Boy continues to showcase his versatility and ability to captivate audiences. The album features high-profile collaborations with international and Nigerian stars, including Wizkid, Stormzy, Central Cee, and Anais Cardot.

One of its standout tracks, MMS featuring Wizkid, has gained global recognition, earning a nomination for Best African Song Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards. This marks Asake’s second Grammy nomination in two years, further solidifying his position on the international stage.

Since breaking into the mainstream in 2022, Asake has risen to superstardom with a relentless stream of hits and critically acclaimed projects. Industry experts and fans alike have hailed his rise as unprecedented in Nigerian music history. With Lungu Boy continuing to dominate digital platforms and receiving acclaim worldwide, Asake shows no signs of slowing down.

As he rides this wave of success, Asake remains a trailblazer, redefining what it means to be a global music star from Nigeria. Fans eagerly anticipate what the Lonely At The Top crooner will do next.
