Details As Asake’s Music Continues Sustained Boost In America

New Spotify data for U.S. streaming of Asake’s music from 1 – 10 August 2026 shows sustained uplift across his catalogue, with live recordings from M$NEY Live in London driving some of the strongest gains.

For Nigerian music fans, a great concert does not end when the lights come off. The songs, moments and energy for a live performance can continue to resonate through recordings and streaming, and Asake’s latest streaming data offers a glimpse into how live experience can spark renewed interest in an artist’s wider catalogue.

The strongest uplift comes from Bad Boy, Ego and Ako from Live in London, which recorded sustained lifts of +50% to +125% above baseline throughout the 10-day period.

Beyond the live album tracks, MMS emerged as the strongest sustained performer among the originally flagged tracks, maintaining a +20% to +41% lift above baseline across all 10 days.

The uplift extends across Asake’s wider catalogue, with Mentally, Fuji Vibe, Basquiat, Dull, and Ligali also recording sustained increases of +10% and +20% above baseline.

Other tracks recorded more short-lived spikes. Forgiveness rose by 21% on August 1 and remained elevated through August 4 before returning to baseline levels, while 99 (feat. Daecolm) recorded a 33% lift on August 1 before returning to baseline the following day. Oba recorded a marginal 2% lift on August 1 and remained below baseline for most of the period.

The data offers an interesting perspective on how Nigerian music continues to connect with audiences beyond the country, with U.S. listeners not only engaging with individual songs but also exploring more of Asake’s wider catalogue. 

The launch of Asake’s M$NEY concert film on Spotify offers another opportunity for fans to revisit the live experience on the platform and discover more of the music that has helped build Asake’s global audience.
