In the latest TurnTable Radio chart, Nigerian Afro-fuji sensation Ahmed Ololade, professionally known as Asake, has clinched the coveted number-one spot, reaffirming his dominance in the music scene.
Following an impressive debut year in 2022, which saw a string of chart-topping singles culminating in a highly acclaimed first album, Asake continues to assert his musical prowess in 2023.
Asake’s popular single ‘Lonely At The Top’ from his second album ‘Work of Art’ has achieved the same top position as Fireboy’s hit track ‘Peru,’ featuring Ed Sheeran. From September 15th to September 21st, 2023, ‘Lonely At The Top’ secured its tenth week at the pinnacle of the chart, matching the previous record set by Fireboy’s ‘Peru’ remix from 2021 to 2011.

Asake’s chart-topping track, ‘Lonely At The Top,’ has garnered immense popularity from his successful second album, largely due to strong listener support. Additionally, the song is on the brink of setting a new record as the number-one track on the TurnTable Top 100, which stands as Nigeria’s comprehensive chart amalgamating radio, streaming (both premium and freemium), and TV data.
With an uninterrupted reign of 11 weeks at the summit of the TurnTable Top 100, ‘Lonely At The Top’ currently shares the record with Omah Lay’s ‘Godly.’ Should it maintain this position in the forthcoming week, it is poised to surpass this achievement and secure a new milestone.
