Nigerian music sensation Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, has achieved a remarkable milestone with his latest album, *Lungu Boy*.
The album has not only made waves in the music industry but has also matched a prestigious Apple Music chart record held by fellow Nigerian stars Burna Boy and Davido.
Released on August 9, 2024, *Lungu Boy* marks Asake’s third studio album and showcases a bold, experimental approach.
The album features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Nigerian Afrobeats icon Wizkid, American rapper Travis Scott, Brazilian singer Ludmilla, and British rappers Stormzy and Central Cee. This diverse range of artists has contributed to the album’s rapid rise on streaming charts worldwide.
Within hours of its release, *Lungu Boy* achieved a significant milestone by reaching #2 on the Apple Music album chart in the United States.
This impressive feat places Asake’s album alongside other record-breaking Nigerian releases, such as Davido’s *Timeless* and Burna Boy’s *I Told Them*, both of which also secured top positions on the platform in 2023.
Asake’s achievement is not just a win on the charts but also a major boost to his international presence. His *Lungu Boy* world tour is set to include performances at some of the most iconic venues, including Madison Square Garden.
This tour underscores Asake’s growing influence and marks a significant step in his burgeoning career, cementing his status as a major player in the global music scene.
