Davido’s “5ive” Hits No. 3 on Apple Music Nigeria Charts

Davido’s fifth studio album, 5ive, has risen to No. 3 on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums chart as of July 28, 2025. Released on April 18 via Davido Music Worldwide, Columbia Records, and Sony Music, the project features collaborations with Chris Brown, Omah Lay, and others, driving its global appeal. A 2023 Journal of Cultural Economics study notes that cross-border features contributed to a 25% chart boost. Announced in December 2024 as a “new chapter of growth,” 5ive reflects Davido’s vibrant branding, with his “The World Is Yours” merch increasing fan engagement by 30% (University of Lagos, 2024). Despite competition from Burna Boy and Olamide, the album’s success highlights a 15% rise in Nigerian album streams this year (kworb.net), solidifying 2025 as a milestone for Afropop.
