This is how Omah Lay’s ‘Boy Alone’ album sets records on US & UK charts.
Omah Lay’s debut album, “Boy Alone,” defied expectations by reaching the top of the US and UK charts.
A milestone that is unprecedented in the Nigerian music industry has been set by Omah Lay on the UK and US charts just a day after the release of his debut album, “Boy Alone.”
A 23-year-old performer with honey-toned skin first caught the attention of fans of Afropop in 2020. Nearly little was known about him other than the fact that he was a part of the vibrant Port Harcourt scene.
Though the music had many appealing elements, led by a sweet voice and extremely clever songwriting, it was clear why people liked it.
In the most depressing period of our shared history, “Bad Influence” and “You” created the myth of Stanley Omah Didia and thrust him in front of an attentive generation of love-deprived people.
Omah Lay stands out from other students in his class because of his quirks, and it’s even more admirable that he’s eager to share projects.
What Have We Done?, his sophomore EP from November of that same year, may not have garnered as much immediate cultural cache as its predecessors, but it confirmed the budding superstar’s special capacity to touch the very core of himself, closely and without editing, while producing a hit as massive as “Godly.”
That quality might best be described as raw, although Omah Lay achieves a certain level of finesse by sketching where another artist might overtly paint.
Omah Lay’s debut album, “Boy Alone,” made him the top debuting artist on the Apple Music Top Albums Chart.
The artist whose song “Damm,” which debuted at number 9 in the UK and 26 in the US, is currently at number one on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Song chart.
After the album’s release on Friday, July 15, 2022, all eyes will be on it as it moves toward even greater things.
