Asake has made history with his latest album, M$NEY, reaching number one on the UK Apple Music chart. This marks his fifth project to achieve this milestone, making him the first African artist to have five albums top the chart.
Released on May 1, 2026, M$NEY features 13 tracks with collaborations from French popstar Tiakola, global producer DJ Snake, and South African music legend Kabza De Small. The album blends various genres and sees Asake reflecting on his imperfections, celebrating individuality, and proclaiming wealth and success.
Ahead of the album’s release, Asake showcased his prosperity by purchasing luxury cars for himself and his parents. Much of the album is produced by his long-time collaborator Magicsticks, who also worked on his debut Mr Money With The Vibe and sophomore album Work of Art.
2026 has been a busy year for Asake, who previously reached the top of the UK Apple Music chart with his joint EP with Wizkid, REAL VOL 1. The strong performance of M$NEY on Apple Music and Spotify has solidified his position as one of Africa’s leading musicians and earned him a spot on the global digital artist list.
With M$NEY currently dominating streaming charts in Nigeria, Asake is on track to finish 2026 as the country’s most-streamed artist, a title he has held since entering the mainstream. He was also recognized in 2025 as Spotify Nigeria’s most-streamed artist of all time and has topped the TurnTable End of the Year Chart as Nigeria’s leading musician every year since 2022.
