Nigerian music continues to dominate local streaming charts, as the latest Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums ranking shows Afrobeats firmly in control, led by heavyweight collaborations and consistent chart mainstays.
As of February 4, 2026, the Top 10 Albums chart reflects a strong mix of Nigerian stars, rising acts, and one major international crossover, with Asake emerging as the most dominant presence on the list.
Sitting at number one is REAL, Vol. 1, the collaborative EP by Wizkid and Asake. The project has held the top spot since debut, powered by viral tracks such as Jogodo, Turbulence, Alaye, and Iskolodo. All four songs are currently leading the Nigeria Top Songs chart, reinforcing the project’s massive cultural and streaming impact.
At number two is OCTANE by American rapper Don Toliver. Released in late January 2026, the album has gained impressive traction in Nigeria, driven in part by the cross-continental appeal of tracks like Secondhand featuring Rema, as well as strong interest in Toliver’s melodic sound.
Holding number three is catharsis by FOLA, a breakout project that has maintained a steady presence near the top of the chart. Its performance highlights the growing appetite for alternative Afrobeats and R&B-influenced sounds among Nigerian listeners.
At number four, then 1t g0t crazy (Deluxe) by Zaylevelten continues to show momentum, proving that deluxe editions remain effective in sustaining long-term streaming interest for emerging artists.
Seyi Vibez lands at number five with FUJI MOTO, a project that blends traditional Fuji influences with modern street-pop energy. The album’s consistency on the charts reflects his loyal fanbase and strong digital engagement.
Coming in at number six is CAPTAIN by BNXN, maintaining a solid mid–Top 10 position and underlining his steady relevance within the Afrobeats space.
At number seven is HYBRID by Shoday marking a strong debut climb for the 14-track album blending Afrobeats with features and high-energy vibe.
The lower half of the chart is entirely dominated by Asake, who places three additional solo projects in the Top 10. Work of Art sits at number eight, Lungu Boy follows at number nine, while Mr Money with the Vibe closes out the chart at number ten. Combined with his number-one collaboration with Wizkid, Asake currently controls four slots on the Top 10 Albums chart a rare and notable achievement.
Chart positions around the tenth spot remain slightly fluid depending on refresh timing, but Asake’s catalog presence has been the most consistent theme across all recent updates.
Overall, the chart underscores the continued dominance of Nigerian artists on local streaming platforms, with Afrobeats leading consumption patterns and collaborations proving especially powerful in driving engagement.
