Wizkid Makes History as Made in Lagos Hits 150 Weeks on Billboard World Albums Chart
Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has etched his name into the history books once again, as his critically acclaimed album Made in Lagos becomes the first African project to remain on the Billboard World Albums chart for 150 consecutive weeks.
This groundbreaking feat underscores Wizkid’s global dominance and the enduring resonance of Made in Lagos across borders and generations.
Released in October 2020, the album received widespread praise for its masterful fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and global sounds.
It features genre-defining hits like the international smash “Essence” featuring Tems, the high-energy “Ginger” with Burna Boy, and the soulful “Blessed” with Damian Marley — tracks that continue to attract new listeners years after the album’s debut.
The 150-week milestone is a testament to the project’s timeless quality, streaming power, and global cultural relevance. It not only sets a new standard for African music but also elevates the Afrobeats genre on the international stage.
In addition to this historic run, Made in Lagos has racked up numerous accolades, including Grammy nominations, platinum plaques, and top-charting positions across multiple countries.
As Wizkid continues to push creative boundaries and break records, his legacy as one of Africa’s most iconic and influential artists grows stronger by the day.
