History was rewritten in real time as Wizkid and Asake’s collaboration, Jogodo, shattered Spotify Nigeria’s all-time record for the most single-day streams by a collaborative release, amassing an extraordinary 1.388 million plays within 24 hours.
The milestone is more than a numerical triumph, it is a defining cultural moment. Wizkid, long regarded as one of Africa’s most influential musical exports, joins forces with Asake, whose meteoric rise has come to symbolise a new, unapologetically street-rooted Nigerian sound. Together, they created a record that resonated across demographics, geographies, and generations.
From Lagos traffic jams to university hostels and global Nigerian playlists, Jogodo moved swiftly its infectious rhythm and confident lyricism turning casual listeners into repeat streamers. The song’s success reflects the growing power of Nigeria’s streaming audience, now capable of propelling local collaborations into historic global-platform milestones.
In breaking this record, Jogodo underscores a broader truth: Nigerian music is no longer merely participating in global digital culture it is actively shaping it.
