Wizkid and Asake’s latest collaboration, “Jogodo,” has made a stunning entry onto the Spotify Global Daily Top 100, debuting at #82 with 1.85 million streams on its first day.

Released as the lead single from their upcoming joint EP Real, Vol. 1, “Jogodo” showcases a blend of Wizkid’s smooth, melodic delivery and Asake’s signature energetic, street-infused style. The single’s performance demonstrates how the duo’s dynamic chemistry translates into powerful streaming numbers and mainstream popularity both within Nigeria and internationally.

The song’s success isn’t limited to the global chart alone. In their home market, “Jogodo” set off an explosion of streams in Nigeria, tallying 1.388 million streams on Spotify Nigeria in its first 24 hours, the biggest opening day ever for a collaboration on the platform and the second-highest overall opening day behind Wizkid’s own Kese (Dance). This landmark achievement reinforces the duo’s dominance on digital platforms and highlights the passionate support of local fans.

Critics and fans have praised “Jogodo” not only for its commercial performance but also for its engaging sound. The track blends infectious rhythms with lyrics that explore themes of affection and connection, combining contemporary Afropop sensibilities with high-energy hooks that resonate across diverse audiences. On streaming platforms beyond Spotify, the song has also topped charts on Apple Music Nigeria, YouTube, and Deezer, reflecting its broad appeal.

As anticipation builds for Real, Vol. 1, fans and industry watchers alike are speculating that the collaborative EP could shatter further records and bring even more attention to Afrobeats on the world stage.

In a year already marked by Afrobeats’ rise in global charts and influence, “Jogodo’s” strong debut on Spotify’s Top 100 charts underscores both the global appetite for African music and the power of strategic collaborations. It’s a milestone that not only celebrates the success of Wizkid and Asake but also signals a broader cultural shift, where sounds from Lagos and beyond echo across playlists and airwaves worldwide.
