As part of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day celebrations, Apple Music spotlighted the nation’s thriving music industry by releasing several curated lists, including the highly anticipated “Apple Music Top 10 Nigerian Albums of All Time.” However, this year, the rankings stirred up significant buzz after Apple Music made some unexpected changes.
In a move that caught many by surprise, Wizkid’s critically acclaimed album Made in Lagos was named the biggest Nigerian album of all time, dethroning Burna Boy’s African Giant, which had previously held the top spot. The new rankings have sparked intense discussion online, with fans of both artists weighing in on the shift and what it means for the Nigerian music scene.

Still, Burna Boy’s African Giant remains a beloved project, with many fans acknowledging its massive cultural footprint. The album, which propelled Burna Boy into international stardom, continues to be celebrated for its bold themes and unique sound.
As the conversation rages on social media, the rearranged rankings have underscored the fierce loyalty of both artists’ fanbases.
