Wizkid’s Made In Lagos (Deluxe) Makes History in the USA
Afrobeats icon Wizkid has achieved another historic milestone with his acclaimed project Made In Lagos (Deluxe). The album has officially become the first Nigerian album in history where every single track has sold over 100,000 units in the United States.
This achievement further cements Wizkid’s status as one of the most influential African artists of all time. Made In Lagos, originally released in 2020 and expanded with the Deluxe edition in 2021, has been instrumental in introducing Afrobeats to a wider global audience.
With standout tracks like Essence featuring Tems & Justin Bieber, Ginger with Burna Boy, and Mood with Buju (BNXN), the album has consistently pushed boundaries, blending Afrobeats with R&B, reggae, and global pop sounds. The fact that every track has crossed the 100K sales mark in the U.S. reflects both Wizkid’s artistry and the genre’s unstoppable growth worldwide.
This milestone is not just a win for Wizkid, but for Nigerian music as a whole. It demonstrates the global demand for Afrobeats and highlights the staying power of Made In Lagos as a timeless body of work.
