Wizkid and Asake have once again proven their star power with the surprise release of Jogodo, a collaboration that has taken Nigeria’s streaming scene by storm and sparked widespread conversation across social media. The unannounced single, produced by Magicsticks, debuted at number one on Spotify Nigeria’s daily chart and has continued to hold the top spot, cementing its status as one of the biggest Nigerian music releases of 2026 so far.

Released without prior promotion, Jogodo recorded an impressive 1.38 million streams on its first day alone. This feat makes it the second-highest opening day ever on Spotify Nigeria, a platform that has increasingly become the key barometer for measuring mainstream success in the country’s music industry. By its fourth day, the song had crossed 5.5 million total streams locally, remaining firmly at number one and emerging as the most-streamed Nigerian song of 2026 to date.

The success of Jogodo has been attributed largely to its unexpected release and the chemistry between Wizkid and Asake, two of Nigeria’s most influential artists. Wizkid, a global Afrobeats icon, and Asake, whose rise over the past few years has been meteoric, delivered a high-energy track that blends street-inspired chants with a party-ready rhythm. The playful lyrics and infectious hook quickly caught on, dominating playlists, clubs, and social media trends.

Fans were quick to latch onto popular lines from the song, turning them into chants and memes. Wizkid himself fueled the buzz by celebrating the record-breaking debut online, referring to the track as “Biggest,” a comment that further energized his fan base and pushed engagement even higher. Despite the usual rival fan banter that often accompanies major releases, Jogodo has largely united listeners around its feel-good vibe.

Beyond Nigeria, Jogodo has also made a notable impact globally. The song climbed to number 188 on Spotify’s global daily chart with over 1.12 million streams worldwide, making it the first Afrobeats track of 2026 to break into the global chart. This milestone underscores the continued international growth of Afrobeats and the expanding global audience for Nigerian music.

Industry observers have noted that this global performance is especially significant given that the track dropped ahead of Wizkid and Asake’s joint EP, Real, which is scheduled for release on January 23. The early success of Jogodo is already building momentum for the upcoming project, with expectations that the EP could replicate or even surpass the single’s achievements.

Social media platforms have been flooded with reactions from fans celebrating the collaboration. Many described Jogodo as a natural fusion of Wizkid’s laid-back confidence and Asake’s street-pop energy. Others praised Magicsticks’ production, highlighting how the beat complements both artists without overshadowing their individual styles.

At the same time, the song’s rapid rise has reignited debates about streaming records, fan bases, and the evolving metrics of success in Nigerian music. While comparisons with previous chart-toppers continue, Jogodo is already being viewed as a defining record for the year, setting a high bar for future releases.

For Wizkid, Jogodo reinforces his reputation as a hitmaker capable of dominating charts even without traditional promotion. For Asake, the record further solidifies his position among Nigeria’s elite artists, showing that he can go toe-to-toe with global heavyweights and still deliver massive numbers.

As Jogodo continues to rack up streams and maintain its grip on the charts, attention is now turning to how long it can sustain its momentum and what impact it will have on the release of Real. For now, the song’s performance highlights the power of surprise releases, strong collaborations, and a sound that resonates instantly with listeners.
