Asake has hit another landmark. His debut album, Mr. Money With The Vibe, has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it the first project of his career to reach the mark.
The album arrived on September 8, 2022, and it did not take long to find its audience. Led by records like “Terminator,” “Peace Be Unto You (PBUY)” and the Burna Boy remix of “Sungba,” it turned a rising street-pop voice into one of Afrobeats’ most recognisable names. Nigerian listeners embraced it first, and the world followed. It debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 66, which at the time made it the highest-charting debut album from a Nigerian act on that chart. It also won Album of the Year at The Headies.
Four years on, the numbers show how much staying power the project has. It passed 800 million Spotify streams in May 2026, and the climb to a billion has come with no new push behind it. The album is still being played at a scale most projects never reach in their first year.
The milestone also lands in a big year for Asake. His latest album, M$NEY, dropped on May 1, 2026 and debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s global Top Albums Debut chart. His catalogue has now passed 3.4 billion streams across all credits on the platform. That means his newest music is doing huge numbers while his first body of work keeps growing beside it.
For an artist who built his name on the fusion of amapiano, fuji and street-pop textures, this is a proper full-circle moment. Mr. Money With The Vibe was the project that introduced the sound, and a billion streams later it is still the one people return to.
