Davido’s ‘Timeless’ Tops Album Charts Hours After Release
Davido’s newly released studio album, ‘Timeless’ has dominated album charts in multiple countries just hours after its release.
On March 31, 2023, Davido released his highly anticipated fourth album, ‘Timeless’.
The 17-track project comes three years since the release of his last album, and it is the first time the singer is putting out new music since May 2022.
Just hours into the release, ‘Timeless’ has already reached NO. 1 on the Apple Music album chart in 17 countries across the world.
The album is topping in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, Niger, Malawi, Benin, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Qatar, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe.
Davido is one of the biggest artists on the continent so it is unsurprising that his album already occupies the top spots just hours into its release.
Meanwhile, the chart performance of ‘Timeless’ in Qatar does not come as a surprise as Davido performed at the FIFA 2022 World Cup hosted by the country.
The United Kingdom has also continued to be a huge market for Afrobeats hence the album is expected to enjoy wide patronage there.
In addition, the new project has become the fastest Nigerian album to reach the top 3 of the US Album Music Album chart.
