Playboi Carti’s MUSIC Climbs to No. 3 on Nigeria’s Apple Music Chart!
Playboi Carti is proving that his music has no boundaries! His latest album, MUSIC, is making a major impact in Nigeria, soaring to the No. 3 spot on the Apple Music Top Albums Chart. Known for his experimental sound and high-energy delivery, Carti continues to push the envelope, and Nigerian fans are fully on board.
This achievement is a testament to the evolving music landscape in Nigeria. While Afrobeats remains the dominant genre, hip-hop and trap are steadily gaining traction, with more Nigerian listeners embracing global sounds. Carti’s signature baby voice, unpredictable flows, and hard-hitting beats have clearly resonated, showing that Nigerian fans have an appetite for more than just local bangers.
Since its release, MUSIC has been a hot topic on social media, sparking debates about its unique production and Carti’s artistic evolution. While some fans celebrate its unconventional approach, others see it as another bold step in his genre-defying career. Love it or not, one thing is certain—Carti’s influence is undeniable, and his reach extends far beyond the U.S.
Streaming platforms like Apple Music have played a huge role in expanding access to diverse sounds, making it easier for Nigerian audiences to discover and engage with international artists. The fact that MUSIC is charting so high in a market dominated by homegrown Afrobeats heavyweights speaks volumes about its impact.
Now the big question is—can MUSIC climb even higher? With its momentum growing, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Carti challenge for the top spot. Whether or not he claims No. 1, this milestone solidifies his growing fan base in Nigeria and reinforces the country’s place as a key player in the global music conversation.
