The Nigerian music industry has witnessed another historic streaming moment as the powerhouse collaboration between Wizkid and Asake, titled 'Jogodo', has shattered records on Spotify Nigeria.
A Historic Opening Day on Spotify
Released as the lead single from their highly anticipated joint EP, REAL, Vol. 1, 'Jogodo' achieved a monumental feat by amassing a staggering 1.38 million streams on Spotify Nigeria within its first 24 hours. This performance has officially secured its place as the second-highest opening day in the history of Spotify Nigeria.
The record is currently held only by Wizkid's own 2024 hit, 'Kese (Dance)', which garnered 1.57 million streams. More significantly, 'Jogodo' now stands as the biggest opening day ever for a collaboration on the platform in Nigeria, showcasing the immense combined power of both artists' fanbases.
Wizkid's Streaming Dominance and the Top 10 Chart
This achievement further cements Wizkid's unparalleled influence in Nigeria's digital music space. According to data from the chart news platform Chart Data, Wizkid claims an impressive six out of the top ten spots for the biggest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria.
The current rankings highlight the dominance of Afrobeats superstars:
- 1. 'Kese (Dance)' - Wizkid (2024) - 1.57M streams
- 2. 'Jogodo' - Wizkid & Asake (2026) - 1.38M streams
- 3. 'Funds' - Davido ft. ODUMODUBLVCK & Chike (2024) - 1.26M streams
- 4. 'Bad Girl' - Wizkid (2024) - 1.15M streams
- 5. 'Troubled Mind' - Wizkid (2024) - 1.06M streams
'Jogodo' has notably eclipsed the duo's previous collaborative effort, 'MMS', which opened with 870,000 streams in 2024 and also features in this elite top 10 list. This signals a trend where repeat collaborations between major artists are yielding progressively larger results.
Fan Reception and Anticipation for 'REAL, Vol. 1'
The song, which debuted at number one on Spotify Nigeria's Daily Chart, has been widely praised by listeners for its seamless blend of Wizkid's signature melodic style and Asake's distinctive Fuji-influenced sound. The fervent social media reaction underscores the potent chemistry between the two artists.
The massive success of 'Jogodo' has exponentially increased anticipation for their forthcoming joint EP, REAL, Vol. 1, scheduled for release on 23 January 2026. The four-track project, featuring songs like 'Turbulence', 'Iskolodo', and 'Alaye', is now primed to potentially break further records, especially for opening day streams for an Extended Play in Nigeria.
This record-breaking stream reinforces the sustained commercial momentum of Afrobeats on global digital platforms and demonstrates the powerful, immediate audience mobilization that established acts can achieve upon release.
