In an industry where records are set and forgotten, where albums are celebrated and then fade, Davido’s refusal to be eclipsed by Wizkid’s Morayo reflects something far more profound

After Wizkid unleashed his highly awaited album Morayo, the music scene has been ablaze with conversation.
Fans and critics are captivated by the groundbreaking milestones Morayo continues to hit, with many holding it up to the achievements of other top artists.
As the applause echoes across the industry, Davido made a bold move, reminding everyone that his own album remains the reigning force on Spotify.

Afrobeats icon Davido is basking in glory after holding firm as the only artist to completely lock down the top 16 spots on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Top Songs Chart for two consecutive days—a colossal achievement that his arch-rival Wizkid could not beat.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls reporting that Wizkid’s new album Morayo shattered multiple records on Spotify, but none of its tracks managed to secure the entire top 16 slots on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Top Songs Chart for two consecutive days.

Stirring the waters even further, renowned music-monitoring platform The Data Dash took to X, spotlighting the gap as Wizkid’s album couldn’t surpass Timeless on Spotify Nigeria’s charts.

The Data Dash wrote via X, “@davido remains the only artist to occupy the Top 16 spots on the Spotify Nigeria Daily Top Songs Chart for 2 consecutive days, with all new songs from his album ‘Timeless’.”
