Asake Ousts Davido as ‘Why Love’ Dominates Apple Music Nigeria Charts
Asake has once again proven his dominance in the Afrobeats scene as his latest track, Why Love, secures the No. 1 spot on the Nigeria Apple Music Top Songs Chart, dethroning Davido’s Be There Still.
The fast-rising hit has been gaining massive traction since its release, captivating listeners with Asake’s signature blend of Fuji, Amapiano, and Afrobeats. Known for his ability to craft infectious melodies with deep, relatable lyrics, Asake delivers yet another anthem that has quickly become a fan favorite.
Before being overtaken, Davido’s Be There Still had been holding strong at the top, enjoying widespread airplay and impressive streaming numbers. However, the sheer momentum behind Why Love was enough to push it past the Afrobeats heavyweight, proving just how much influence Asake continues to wield in the industry.
The competition between these two stars highlights the evolving landscape of Nigerian music, where streaming platforms now play a crucial role in determining hit records. With Apple Music’s charts reflecting real-time engagement from listeners, it’s clear that fans are deeply invested in both Asake’s and Davido’s music, making for an exciting battle at the top.
Asake’s latest achievement adds another milestone to his already impressive run. Since breaking into mainstream success, he has consistently delivered back-to-back hits, establishing himself as one of the most consistent artists in the game. Why Love continues that streak, reinforcing his reputation as a hitmaker with a unique and authentic sound.
On the other hand, Davido’s Be There Still remains a strong contender, still pulling in major numbers and keeping fans engaged. With the Afrobeats landscape constantly shifting, it remains to be seen whether Davido will reclaim the top spot or if Asake will extend his reign.
Fans are eagerly watching the charts unfold, and one thing is certain—both artists are pushing the genre to greater heights, keeping Afrobeats at the forefront of the global music scene.
