Twelve weeks and counting. Victony’s “Slick” is still sitting at No. 1 on the UK Official Afrobeats Songs Chart, extending a reign that has now outlasted the album it helped set up. The single first topped the chart before Starlife even arrived and has simply refused to let go of the spot since.
The consistency says as much as the number itself. Twelve consecutive weeks at No. 1 on a chart that turns over constantly with new Afrobeats releases means “Slick” has been fending off a steady stream of challengers since before Starlife dropped and continues to do so weeks after the album’s own streaming milestones have piled up elsewhere. It’s the rare case of a pre-album single outliving its own rollout cycle instead of getting absorbed into the bigger project’s numbers.
It also fits the pattern of everything else “Slick” has done. The track already passed 40 million streams, earned a cover from Summer Walker, gave Victony his first solo No. 1 on Nigeria’s Official Charts, and peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart. A 12-week UK run adds another marker to a song that was already doing more career-defining work than most lead singles manage.
With Starlife still charting in 75 countries on Apple Music and “Slick” refusing to leave the top of the UK chart, Victony’s 2026 is shaping up as less a single big moment than a run that keeps finding new records to set.
