Asake Becomes First African with 5 UK Apple Music No.1 Albums
Asake reaches a new career peak as M$NEY officially claims the No. 1 spot on the Apple Music UK Top Albums Chart, marking a historic moment for Afrobeats on the global stage.
With this achievement, Asake becomes the first African artist to have five different projects reach No. 1 on the UK Apple Music Albums Chart — a record that underscores both his consistency and his growing international influence.
This isn’t just a one-off success. It reflects a pattern of dominance, with multiple projects from his catalog resonating strongly with UK listeners over time. From earlier releases to M$NEY, every era has connected — turning him into one of the most reliable chart forces out of Africa.
To highlight the scale of this milestone:
M$NEY topping the UK chart also reinforces the album’s global run — already dominating in Nigeria and making a major impact in the U.S. and beyond. It’s clear the project isn’t confined to one market; it’s traveling and winning everywhere.
At this point, Asake’s trajectory is undeniable: consistent hits, full-project success, and now record-breaking global chart dominance.
