Asake Now the Most Charted Afrobeats Artist Ever On U.S. Billboard Afrobeats Chart

Nigerian music sensation Asake has solidified his global impact by extending his record as the artist with the most entries in the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, reaching an unprecedented 60 chart entries after his latest hit “Jogodo” with Wizkid peaked at No. 4 this week, a milestone that highlights both his influence and Afrobeats’ surging worldwide popularity.

Asake’s journey to this landmark achievement reflects his constant evolution and resonance with fans across continents. Bursting onto the international scene with his unique blend of street-inspired Afrobeats and catchy melodies, his music has charted a remarkable course over the past few years. His ongoing dominance on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart now stands as a defining chapter not just in his career, but in the broader story of African music breaking boundaries on the world stage.

The collaborative single “Jogodo,” released as part of the joint EP Real, Vol. 1 by Asake and Wizkid, has been a cultural phenomenon from the moment it dropped. Beyond its Billboard success, the track shattered streaming records on platforms like Spotify Nigeria, becoming one of the fastest African songs to surpass 10 million streams and setting the tone for the EP’s massive impact at home and abroad.

This milestone continues to position Asake as a central figure in Afrobeats’ global rise, with his chart success paralleling the broader achievements of African artists internationally. While South African star Tyla holds the top spot on the Billboard Afrobeats chart this week with “Channel,” and Nigerian superstar Burna Boy recently scored his first top-20 hit on the mainstream Billboard Hot 100 thanks to a feature on Gunna’s “WGFT,” Asake’s record underscores a sustained and unprecedented presence in global music spaces.

As fans and industry watchers alike celebrate this achievement, Asake’s journey from Nigerian streets to international stages serves as both an inspiration and a testament to the cultural power of Afrobeats. With this latest record, he hasn’t just extended a personal milestone — he’s helped elevate the genre itself to new heights on the world music map.
