Nigerian music icon and Grammy Award-winning artist Wizkid has reached a remarkable milestone as his album, Made in Lagos, spends 150 weeks on the Billboard World Albums Chart. This achievement cements his legacy as one of the most successful African artists on the global stage.

Made in Lagos marked a turning point in Wizkid’s career, showcasing a more refined and international sound. The album blends Afrobeats, reggae, R&B, and soul, featuring global hits like “Essence” featuring Tems, which later received a remix with Justin Bieber and became the first Nigerian song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Spending 150 consecutive weeks on the Billboard World Albums Chart is a historic feat not just for Wizkid but for African music as a whole.
