Asake’s audiences across Nigeria, Ghana, and Togo, earned him the title of most streamed artist in each country. His dominance continued in the Top 10 most streamed tracks, with three of his hits; Lonely At The Top, 2:30 and Amapiano making the cut.
Interestingly, Mohbad secured a position in the top 20 list of the most streamed artists in Nigeria, an attribute to the increased interest in his music following his untimely death. His track, Ask About Me, was the top streamed track everyday between 13th and 25th September.
