Asake’s ‘Lonely At The Top’ earns silver certification in the UK
Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has reached another significant career milestone, as his chart-topping hit Lonely At The Top has officially been certified Silver in the United Kingdom (UK).
A standout track from his widely praised album Work of Art, Lonely At The Top has continued to resonate with fans across the globe, further cementing its status as one of the defining Afrobeats songs of recent times.

As the genre’s global influence expands, his success reinforces the growing recognition of Nigerian music and sets the stage for even greater milestones ahead.
