Wizkid has officially reached a new commercial milestone, becoming the best selling African artist of all time with 13.18 million equivalent album sales worldwide. The record, confirmed by global music analytics platform ChartMasters, is a result of the cumulative success of his catalog across physical sales, digital downloads, and streaming conversions.
This achievement highlights the remarkable commercial strength Wizkid has built over the course of his career. From his early breakthrough releases to his most globally dominant era, his music has consistently generated strong numbers across multiple markets. His discography has remained one of the most consumed among African artists, driven by sustained streaming performance and strong international demand.
One of the most significant contributors to this milestone is his critically acclaimed album Made in Lagos. The project delivered some of the biggest records of his career and became his most commercially successful body of work. Its global performance significantly boosted his total equivalent album units and helped push his overall numbers to record breaking territory.
With 13.18 million equivalent album sales now recorded, Wizkid stands as the undisputed best-selling African artist in history. The milestone further reinforces his position as one of the most commercially dominant and globally successful African musicians of his generation.
