Afrobeats stars Asake and Wizkid have set a new milestone in Nigerian music with their collaborative single, “Jogodo.” The track broke the record for the biggest streaming week in Spotify Nigeria history.
Within just five days of its January 16, 2026 release, “Jogodo” surpassed 5 million streams, beating the previous record with two full days of tracking left.
Digital chart-tracking platforms confirmed the achievement by Asake and Wizkid, noting that the song immediately reached number one on both Apple Music and Spotify Nigeria. “Jogodo” also performed strongly on global charts, including Shazam and Spotify’s Top Songs Debut Global, highlighting its international appeal.
This feat surpasses previous streaming peaks by major hits such as Davido’s “With You” (4.98 million) and Wizkid’s solo single “Kese (Dance)” (4.72 million). The single has also generated buzz ahead of the duo’s joint EP, Real Vol. 1, scheduled for release on 5 months ago.
Fan engagement on social media has been intense following the announcement. One listener posted via X (formerly Twitter):
“Asake and Wizkid are killing it! Over 5 million streams already and the week isn’t even over. ‘Jogodo’ is everywhere! Who else can’t stop playing this song?”
Another fan highlighted the impact of the full project:
“‘REAL’ dropping in 2 days. The stats will shock a lot.”
The Real Vol. 1 EP will feature four tracks: “Turbulence,” “Jogodo,” “Iskolodo,” and “Alaye.” Industry analysts predict the project will break more records for opening-day streams in West Africa, powered by the combined digital influence of both artists’ fanbases.
