Asake Rewrites History With New Album “M$NEY”

Nigerian artist Asake is once again making significant strides as his recent album M$NEY continues to achieve global popularity shortly after its release.

Released on May 1, 2026, the album has quickly emerged as one of the most significant African releases of the year, generating discussions across streaming platforms and marking a notable chapter in Asake’s career.

One of the major milestones occurred in the United Kingdom, where M$NEY reached No. 1 on the Apple Music chart. This accomplishment not only adds to his accolades but also establishes him as the first African artist to have five different projects achieve the top position on UK Apple Music.

This achievement is particularly meaningful given the UK’s role in his career progression. Asake has developed a strong rapport with listeners there through sold-out performances and consistent chart success, indicating that his fanbase in the region remains loyal and influential.

The success was not limited to the UK.

On Spotify, Asake attained a new career high by becoming the highest-charting African artist ever on the platform’s Global Top Artists ranking, marking a significant moment for both him and African music on the global stage.

His impact is also reflected in broader digital metrics, with reports placing him at No. 15 on the World’s Global Digital Artists list, showcasing the widespread streaming of M$NEY across various platforms.

These statistics collectively illustrate a larger narrative. Since entering the mainstream, Asake has established himself as a consistent and impactful artist, delivering projects that not only trend but also influence the discourse around Afrobeats.

With M$NEY, he reinforces this reputation. The album represents not just another successful release; it signals continued prominence in the streaming landscape.

As Nigerian music expands its global presence, Asake is positioned at the forefront of this movement, setting new standards and demonstrating the potential reach of African pop.
