The extended play (EP) titled ‘Blessed’ by the late singer and rapper Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, has achieved a significant milestone on Spotify. It has become the first EP to claim the number one position on the Spotify Nigeria weekly albums chart.
This achievement comes posthumously, as Mohbad passed away over a week ago, and his death stirred a series of controversies. His passing has had a notable impact on his singles and projects on music streaming platforms in Nigeria.
Several of his songs, including ‘Peace,’ ‘Feel Good,’ ‘Ask About Me,’ and ‘Beast and Peace,’ secured spots among the top 10 songs on Apple Music Nigeria. Furthermore, he topped the Spotify Nigeria singles chart with his track ‘Ask About Me,’ and his EP ‘Blessed’ made its way into the top 20 on the UK Apple Music albums chart.
Mohbad’s music continues to resonate with listeners, and his posthumous success on streaming platforms reflects his enduring popularity and influence in the music industry.
