Davido is revelling in an incredible achievement as his latest single, Awuke, skyrockets to the top of the Apple Music Nigeria charts, outpacing Wizkid’s “Piece of My Heart.”

Released on October 31, 2024, the track features YG Marley, the grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley. This collaboration has not only resonated with fans but has also made history by quickly reaching the number-one spot on Spotify Nigeria within just five hours of its debut.

The rapid success of “Awuke” is significant; it marks the first time a song in Nigeria has claimed the number one position on Spotify NG based solely on partial-day streams.

This remarkable feat underscores Davido’s influence and popularity in the ever-evolving landscape of Nigerian music, as he continues to break records and set new standards for success.
