Nigerian hitmaker Asake has once again raised the bar in the streaming era, breaking a major record with his newly released album M$NEY.
Since its arrival, the project has continued to dominate conversations and charts, but its biggest milestone yet comes from Spotify Nigeria, where it recorded the biggest opening week in the platform’s history for a Nigerian album.
According to reported figures, M$NEY pulled in an impressive 55.98 million streams in its first week, surpassing the previous record of 52.8 million set by Wizkid with his album Morayo.
The achievement further strengthens Asake’s growing reputation as one of the most commercially powerful artists in African music, especially within the fast-expanding digital streaming space.
Since its release, M$NEY has not only dominated Spotify but has also sparked widespread engagement across social media, with fans and industry watchers reacting to its performance as one of the strongest album rollouts of the year.
The milestone adds another layer to what has already been a remarkable run for Asake in 2026, a year in which his releases have consistently translated into chart success and global visibility.
Beyond the numbers, the achievement also reflects the wider rise of Afrobeats on global streaming platforms, where Nigerian artists continue to set new benchmarks and compete at the highest level internationally.
With M$NEY still gaining momentum, Asake’s latest record reinforces his position at the forefront of that movement and signals that his commercial influence is only growing stronger.
