Its soulful production and cultural relevance have kept it resonating with fans long after its initial release.
Morayo debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music Nigeria, with all 16 songs occupying 17 of the top spots on the Top Songs chart—a record-breaking achievement. Even four weeks post-launch, 15 tracks remained in the Top 100, and the album topped the charts on Christmas Day 2024.
The project has seen multiple comebacks in 2025, re-entering the Top 10 at No. 8 in November before rising to No. 6 just before its one-year mark.
Apple Music’s 2025 Nigeria year-end charts recognized Morayo as the Top Album of the Year, with Wizkid named Top Artist, and his single “Kese (Dance)” placing No. 2 on the Top Songs chart.
Fans celebrated the latest chart milestone across social media, reinforcing Wizkid’s enduring impact on the Nigerian music scene.
