From Lagos to the US Charts: Nigerian Projects With the Strongest Apple Music Peaks
Nigerian music continues to assert its global dominance, with several projects recording historic peaks on the US Apple Music Albums chart. From genre-defining albums to standout EPs, these releases highlight the steady rise — and staying power — of Afrobeats and Nigerian artistry in one of the world’s most competitive music markets.
Leading the pack are multiple projects that peaked at #2, including Timeless, I Told Them…, S2 – EP, and Lungu Boy — a testament to their massive crossover appeal and strong first-week performances.
Several other influential releases reached #3 and #4, such as Work of Art, Love, Damini, More Love, Less Ego, Unruly, Morayo, Olamidé, and REAL, Vol. 1 – EP, which continues to climb.
Lower top-10 peaks — including Made in Lagos, Mr. Money With The Vibe, NAHAMciaga (EP), and Born in the Wild — further underline the depth of Nigeria’s global catalogue, with projects spanning different eras and sounds.
Altogether, this list reflects more than chart positions — it tells the story of Nigerian music’s evolution from regional force to global mainstay, with artists consistently breaking barriers and redefining what international success looks like.
