Wizkid Sets the Stage Ablaze, Matches Burna Boy’s Billboard Feat with ‘Morayo’ Album Success

Nigerian music heavyweight Wizkid continues his streak of record-shattering achievements by equaling Burna Boy’s dominance on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart. With the release of his latest album, Morayo, Wizkid has not only cemented his legacy but ignited heated debates over who truly rules the Afrobeats scene.

Morayo debuted at an impressive number 98 on the Billboard 200, racking up 13,000 units in its first week. This milestone means both Wizkid and Burna Boy now boast four charting albums each on this globally recognized chart—a feat no other Nigerian artist has accomplished.

Music analytics giant Chart Data took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the achievement, stating, “Wizkid ties Burna Boy as the Nigerian artist with the most charting albums in Billboard 200 history (4 each).”

But that’s not all—Morayo made a powerful entrance on the Billboard World Albums chart, securing the number 4 spot, further solidifying Wizkid’s global appeal.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on Davido, who is hot on their heels. With three albums already charting on the Billboard 200, the ‘Unavailable’ crooner is set to drop his highly anticipated fifth album, 5IVE, next year. Could this release shake up the ongoing rivalry and push Davido into the elite club of four-charting albums?

The Wizkid vs. Burna Boy vs. Davido debate just got hotter, and the world is watching!
