This remarkable achievement was secured during the tracking week of January 25, 2025, with all 16 songs from the album maintaining their spots on the chart.

Leading the pack is “Piece of My Heart” featuring Brent Faiyaz at No. 5, while “Lose” completes the historic run with an entry at No. 45.

This is yet another milestone for Morayo, an album that has shattered multiple records, including achieving the biggest first-week streams on Spotify Nigeria.

Morayo also became the first album to have all its tracks amass at least 500,000 streams on their opening day on Spotify Nigeria.

Released on November 22, 2025, the album was preceded by “Piece of My Heart,” featuring American singer Brent Faiyaz, which set a new record for the biggest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria—only to be surpassed later by Wizkid’s own “Dance (Kese).”

The album, featuring guest appearances from Asake, Jazmine Sullivan, Tiakola, and Anais Cardot, is named in honor of Wizkid’s late mother, who was laid to rest in a grand ceremony in 2024.

The Grammy winner performed tracks from the album at several events in Lagos, including the Oando End-of-Year Party, where he shared the stage with Davido and Burna Boy.

Following the release of his latest project, Wizkid hinted at plans to embark on a tour in 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of tour dates, where they can experience live renditions of their favorite Wizkid hits.
