Asake, the Nigerian singer known for his impactful presence in the Afrobeats and street-pop genres, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 1 billion streams on Apple Music across all his credits. This achievement was highlighted across various posts on X (formerly Twitter) on October 5, 2024, indicating widespread recognition and celebration of this feat among fans and observers within the music community.

This milestone comes as part of a broader trajectory of success for Asake, following the release of his debut album “Mr. Money with the Vibe” in September 2022, which set numerous records for African albums on Apple Music, including the biggest opening day for an African album at the time. His subsequent projects, including the album “Work of Art” and the more recent “Lungu Boy,” have continued to build on this success, with “Lungu Boy” itself dominating the Nigerian Apple Music charts for six consecutive weeks in 2024.

Asake’s music, blending traditional Nigerian sounds with contemporary Afrobeats, has not only resonated within Nigeria but globally, evidenced by his albums’ performance on international charts and his growing stream numbers. His ability to weave in influences like Fuji music and amapiano into his work has helped him carve a unique niche, making his music universally appealing.

The billion streams milestone on Apple Music underscores Asake’s rising prominence in the global music scene, reflecting both his artistic impact and the expansive reach of Afrobeats. This achievement also highlights the increasing global appetite for African music, with platforms like Apple Music playing a crucial role in this cultural exchange.
