Wizkid’s ‘Morayo’ Continues to Shine, Climbing to No. 6 on Apple Music Nigeria
Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has once again demonstrated his staying power on the charts with his heartfelt album Morayo, currently sitting at number six on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums chart.
The 16-track project, named in honor of his late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun — with “Morayo” meaning “I see joy” in Yoruba — blends Afrobeats, R&B, and reflective themes of loss, healing, and gratitude. The album features high-profile collaborations with Brent Faiyaz, Asake, and Burna Boy, giving listeners both emotional depth and infectious grooves.
Since its release, Morayo has broken records:
Debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria
All 16 tracks occupied 17 of the top spots on the Top Songs chart
Four weeks post-launch, 15 tracks remained in the Top 100
Topped the charts again on Christmas Day 2024
Even a year later, the album continues to resonate, re-entering the Top 10 in November 2025 before climbing to No. 6 just ahead of its anniversary. The project’s cultural significance and soulful production have clearly struck a chord with fans.
Apple Music also recognized the album’s impact in its 2025 Nigeria Year-End Charts, naming Morayo the Top Album of the Year, with Wizkid crowned Top Artist, and his single “Kese (Dance)” securing the No. 2 spot on the Top Songs chart.
