BNXN’s Captain Soars to No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria, Toppling Burna Boy
BNXN has clinched the No. 1 spot on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums chart with his latest project, Captain, unseating Burna Boy’s No Sign of Weakness, which had been holding the crown.
This chart-topping feat marks a defining moment in BNXN’s career, showcasing his evolution from a rising star to a leading force in the Afrobeats space.
Since its release, Captain has earned widespread acclaim for its compelling songwriting, genre-fluid production, and high-profile collaborations, all of which have resonated deeply with fans and critics.
The album weaves a rich blend of Afrobeats, R&B, dancehall, and alternative sounds, a fusion that has become BNXN’s signature style. His ability to craft emotive, relatable music while experimenting sonically has helped him build a loyal global following from Lagos to London and beyond.
BNXN’s rapid ascent to the top of the charts is a testament to his artistic growth and the strong support of his fanbase. With Captain now sitting at the summit, he joins an elite circle of Nigerian artists dominating digital streaming platforms and shaping the sound of contemporary African music.
As the competition intensifies, many are watching to see how long Captain can hold onto the throne and whether powerhouses like Burna Boy will strike back. But for now, BNXN is calling the shots and Captain is steering the ship.
