Against the usual industry curve where album interest peaks quickly and then drops, Adekunle Gold’s sixth studio album, Fuji, has achieved a rare streaming feat by recording higher numbers in its second week than in its debut week.
The album, released with a full seven-day tracking period for both chart appearances, has set a new pace in Nigeria’s music industry.
| Chart Week | Streams (On-Demand) | Units Sold (Album Units) | Official Top 100 Album Chart Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debut Week | 4.5 million | 3,020 | No. 7 |
| Second Week | 4.85 million | 3,230 | No. 5 |
While a few EPs have shown similar upward trajectories, Fuji stands out as the first full-length project to achieve this growth in streams and chart position with full tracking weeks in both its initial and follow-up appearance.
The Select List of Projects with Rare Streaming Growth
The following projects are noted for exhibiting this rare streaming pattern, where second-week numbers surpassed the debut:
- Kizz Daniel’s ‘TZA’: Debuted at No. 1 with 4.3 million streams, rising to 5.5 million in its second week. The project spent 47 weeks on the chart.
- Tml Vibez’s ‘Timileyin 2.0’: Debuted and peaked at No. 3 with 3.7 million streams in its first week, rising to 4.7 million in its second week, and lasting 68 weeks on the chart.
- Tml Vibez’s ‘Xin Mao’: Entered at No. 9, peaked at No. 3, moving from 2.7 million to 3.1 million streams, and spent 54 weeks on the chart.
- Famous Pluto’s ‘Uzama the 3rd’ (EP): Debuted and peaked at No. 2, growing from 6.9 million to 8.3 million streams, remaining for 17 weeks.
- Qing Madi’s self-titled EP: Debuted at No. 38, peaked at No. 10, with streams rising from 450,000 to 555,000, and an impressive 97 weeks on the chart.
This achievement signals that in a fast-moving music landscape where album interests often burn out quickly, Fuji is resonating deeply enough to gain momentum and attract new listeners even after the initial launch buzz has subsided.
