Nigerian music sensation Asake has once again cemented his dominance in the industry as his third album, Lungu Boy, was named the best-performing album of 2024 by TurnTable Charts. This marks his third consecutive year topping the chart after Work of Art led in 2023 and Mr. Money With The Vibe reigned in 2022.
Released earlier this year, Lungu Boy debuted at No. 1 and maintained its position for a record-breaking 15 weeks. The album’s success continues Asake’s streak of topping every TurnTable year-end album chart since its inception.
Beyond his album’s dominance, Asake was also named the No. 1 Artist of the Year, making him the first artist to win the award for three consecutive years.
