Wizkid Breaks Record as *Made in Lagos* Spends 150 Weeks on Billboard Chart!

Wizkid’s Made in Lagos Hits 150 Weeks on Billboard – A New African Record

Wizkid just made history—again.

His groundbreaking album Made in Lagos has officially spent 150 weeks on the Billboard World Albums chart, making it the first African project to ever reach that milestone. That’s nearly three years of holding strong on one of the world’s most competitive music charts—proof that this body of work isn’t just a fan favorite, but a global cultural staple.

Released in October 2020, Made in Lagos wasn’t just an album—it was a statement. With its smooth blend of Afrobeats, R&B, reggae, and soulful vibes, it redefined what African music could sound like on the world stage. Tracks like Essence featuring Tems exploded worldwide, even earning a remix with Justin Bieber and becoming the first Nigerian song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Add in Ginger with Burna Boy and Blessed featuring Damian Marley, and it’s clear the album was built to last.

Now, with this 150-week Billboard streak, Made in Lagos has gone from being a cultural phenomenon to a timeless classic. It’s a major win for Wizkid and for Afrobeats as a whole. The longevity of the project highlights the global appetite for African sounds and cements Wizkid’s role in pushing the genre to new heights.

This record-setting run adds to the long list of achievements for Made in Lagos—from Grammy nominations and platinum certifications to sold-out tours and international acclaim. But more than the numbers, it’s about the impact. Wizkid managed to create an album that feels deeply Nigerian, yet universally relatable. That’s rare.

With this latest milestone, Wizkid has once again proven that African music isn’t just having a moment—it’s shaping the future. And with Made in Lagos as a reference point, the world is definitely listening.
