Wizkid’s sixth studio album, Morayo, has made history by becoming the first album to have all its tracks chart on the Billboard Afrobeats chart for an incredible eight consecutive weeks.
This groundbreaking achievement was solidified during the tracking week of January 25, 2025, as all 16 songs from the album remained firmly on the chart. This milestone underscores the album’s massive global reception and cements Wizkid’s position as one of the most influential Afrobeats artists in the world.
Leading the album’s charting success is the hit single “Piece of My Heart,” which features American R&B star Brent Faiyaz. The track has climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard Afrobeats chart, showcasing its widespread popularity.
On the other end of the spectrum, the song “Lose” rounded out the achievement by charting at No. 45, marking the historic feat of all 16 songs appearing on the chart simultaneously. Such dominance on a prestigious platform reflects the album’s strong appeal across diverse audiences.
Morayo has also shattered several records since its release. It holds the title for the biggest first-week streams on Spotify Nigeria, a testament to its overwhelming reception by fans.
Moreover, the album became the first project on Spotify Nigeria where every single track garnered at least 500,000 streams on its opening day. These accomplishments underscore the cultural and commercial impact of Morayo, elevating it as one of the defining moments in Wizkid’s illustrious career.
The album was released on November 22, 2025, and was preceded by the chart-topping single “Piece of My Heart,” which set a new record for the biggest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria. This record was later surpassed by another Morayo track, “Dance (Kese),” further showcasing the album’s unrelenting momentum.
Featuring collaborations with international and local stars like Brent Faiyaz, Asake, Jasmine Sullivan, Tiakola, and Anais Cardot, Morayo blends Afrobeats with global influences, offering a rich, multidimensional sound.
Morayo is not just a musical project; it is deeply personal. The album is named after Wizkid’s late mother, who was laid to rest in a lavish ceremony in 2024. This tribute to her legacy adds a poignant layer to the album’s success, making it a meaningful chapter in Wizkid’s career.
In the months following its release, the Grammy-winning artist performed songs from the album at high-profile events in Lagos, including the Oando End of the Year Party, where he shared the stage with fellow Afrobeats stars Davido and Burna Boy.
Following the success of Morayo, Wizkid has teased plans for a global tour in 2025. Fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the announcement of concert dates, where they will have the chance to experience live performances of their favorite tracks from the album. With Morayo breaking records and redefining standards in the Afrobeats genre, Wizkid’s upcoming tour promises to be a celebration of both his artistry and his enduring influence on global music.
