🚨❗️ Wizkid’s “Morayo” vs. Davido’s “Timeless”
Wizkid's newly released album Morayo has sparked conversations online, especially as fans compare it to Davido’s Timeless. Despite an aggressive promotional campaign, including heavy social media buzz and strategic trolling, many fans feel Morayo hasn’t lived up to its hype.
Here’s a breakdown of key stats comparing Morayo and Timeless:
1. Nigerian Apple Music Chart
Morayo claimed all Top 17 spots in 10 hours, but it falls short of Davido’s Timeless, which achieved the same feat in just 6 hours.
2. Nigerian iTunes Chart
Morayo debuted at #1 in 8 hours, matching Timeless, which hit the mark in 6 hours.
However, after 15 hours, no song from Morayo is in the Top 5, while Davido’s collaboration with Nicki Minaj currently sits at #1, with Nicki dominating 4 out of the Top 5 slots.
3. Spotify Nigeria
While all songs from Morayo are in the Top 20, none have surpassed Davido’s Awuke, which remains firmly at #2.
4. UK Apple Music Chart
Morayo reached #1, a milestone shared by Burna Boy, Davido, and other top Nigerian artists.
However, Timeless holds the record as the fastest Afrobeats album to reach #1 on the UK Albums Chart.
5. US Apple Music Chart
Morayo currently sits at #4, with little chance of climbing higher as Kendrick Lamar's latest album is expected to debut at #1 soon.
Timeless peaked at #2 within 20 hours of its release.
While Morayo showcases Wizkid's artistry and is undoubtedly a solid album, its initial performance pales compared to the groundbreaking success of Davido's Timeless. Fans are still enjoying the music, but many wonder if Wizkid has more in store to turn the tides.
