Davido’s 5IVE Jumps Back to No. 2 on the Nigeria Apple Music Top Albums Chart
Davido is once again proving why he remains a dominant force in the Afrobeats scene, as his compilation project, ‘5IVE,’ makes a powerful return to the No. 2 spot on the Apple Music Top Albums Chart in Nigeria, months after its initial release.
The renewed chart momentum reaffirms not just the staying power of the project but also Davido’s unmatched consistency in churning out music that resonates across generations and borders.
Upon its debut, 5IVE sold an impressive 7,300 units in its first full week, further cementing the artist’s global appeal. The 17-track compilation bridges the gap between Afrobeats, R&B, and Afro-Caribbean influences, showcasing Davido’s versatility and knack for curating sounds that connect with a broad audience.
From the infectious bounce of ‘Unavailable’ to the introspective feel of ‘Feel’ and the smooth vibes of ‘In the Garden,’ each track brings a unique flavor, capturing different facets of Davido’s artistry. The project is stacked with crowd favorites like ‘No Competition’ and ‘Over Dem,’ making it a must-listen for both longtime fans and newcomers.

What makes this chart resurgence even more impressive is the fact that it comes during a period of intense competition in the Nigerian music scene, with new projects dropping almost weekly.
Yet, Davido’s loyal 30BG fanbase has remained unwavering, driving streams, engagement, and conversations around the project.
This unexpected rebound has also reignited buzz around what’s next for Davido, with fans speculating that fresh music or high-profile collaborations could be on the horizon. As anticipation builds, listeners are diving back into his catalog, keeping his past work firmly in the spotlight.
In an industry where most projects quickly fade, Davido’s ability to dominate the charts with an older release is a clear indicator of his staying power, influence, and timeless sound.
