Wizkid continues to prove why he’s a global music sensation as his latest album, Morayo, debuts on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart at No. 98. With 13,000 units sold in its first week, the project secures the Nigerian superstar yet another milestone in his illustrious career.
The achievement was announced by Chart Data, which tweeted: “Wizkid’s ‘Morayo’ debuts at 98 on this week’s Billboard 200 (13K sold).” This marks Wizkid’s fourth album to enter the chart, further cementing his position as a trailblazer in the global music scene.
Released on November 22, 2024, Morayo carries profound emotional weight. The album is a heartfelt tribute to Wizkid’s late mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023. Through its deeply personal tracks, Morayo showcases Wizkid’s ability to channel his artistry into storytelling, creating a lasting connection with his audience.
As Afrobeats continues to dominate the global stage, Wizkid’s Morayo not only highlights his unmatched talent but also serves as a powerful testament to the genre’s growing influence. This latest accomplishment is a proud moment for Wizkid and a monumental step forward for Nigerian music on the world stage.
