Asake’s unstoppable rise continues, with his smash hit Terminator officially earning a Silver certification in the United Kingdom. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) confirmed the milestone on Friday, August 8, 2025, marking the Afrobeats star’s fourth time achieving Silver status in the UK.
Released on August 19, 2022, under YBNL Nation, Terminator has maintained its grip on UK listeners, amassing over 200,000 combined sales and streams—the threshold for the award. The track’s infectious blend of Afrobeats and amapiano has helped it stand out, cementing Asake’s reputation as a cross-continental hitmaker.
This achievement adds to an already impressive list of UK-certified records in his catalogue, showcasing his ability to craft music that resonates far beyond Nigeria. Since bursting onto the scene, Asake has been a consistent chart presence, pushing Afrobeats deeper into the global mainstream and fueling its rising demand in Western markets.
With his latest win, Asake has proven once again that he’s not just riding the Afrobeats wave—he’s helping lead it. And if his current trajectory is anything to go by, Terminator won’t be his last global smash.
