In the first 24 hours, “More Love, Less Ego” received 1.21 million streams on Spotify Nigeria, according to the official music chart for Nigeria, Turntable Charts.
With 1.36 million streams on Spotify Nigeria on its first day, Burna Boy’s 2022 album “Love, Damini” is slightly ahead of the album in this category.
‘MLLE’ also surpasses Asake’s enormously popular first album ‘Mr. Money With The Vibes,’ which had 992K plays on Spotify Nigeria on its opening day and over a million streams overall.
Following the critically praised 2020 album “Made In Lagos,” the 13-track “MLLE” contains superstars like Skepta, Shenseea, Skillibeng, Naira Marley, as well as the rapidly emerging Nigerian wonder Ayra Starr.
With an average of 93,240 streams per track in its first 24 hours, “MLLE” also broke the previous record for the average track stream on the first day of an album, according to Turntable Charts.
Following the release of “More Love, Less Ego,” Wizkid makes his first-ever appearance at number 128 on the Spotify Global Artist Chart.
His position on the list attests to his prominence as a world-renowned artist and to his sharp surge in popularity with the release of “Made In Lagos,” which produced the global smash song “Essence.”
