Wizkid continues to solidify his legacy as one of Africa’s greatest musical exports with the release of his latest album, Morayo.
Since its debut on November 22, 2024, the album has been making waves across the global music scene, breaking records and setting new benchmarks for African music on streaming platforms.
The 16-track project, featuring collaborations with notable artists such as Asake, Brent Faiyaz, Tiakola, Anais Cardot, and Jasmine Sullivan, has received widespread recognition.
One of Morayo‘s most remarkable achievements is its record-breaking performance on Spotify.
In just its first week, the album garnered a staggering 42 million streams.
Also, it sets a new record for the highest opening-week streams for an African album.
However, this impressive feat surpasses the previous record held by Tyla’s Water.
The album has also claimed the record for the biggest opening-day streams for an African album on Spotify.
In another historic accomplishment, all 16 tracks on the album surpassed 500,000 streams within the first 24 hours of release.
This is an unparalleled achievement for an African artist.
Fans and industry insiders have praised Morayo for its diverse soundscapes.
