The poll featured competition from various music genres, and Wizkid’s new song collection brought in an impressive 78% of the vote. Voters this week chose Morayo over new music releases from ROSÉ, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Quevedo, Miguel and Jelly Roll — and even the soundtrack to the box office hit Wicked, featuring lead vocals from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.


Wizkid’s Morayo, released via Starboy Entertainment and RCA Records, is dedicated to the Nigerian artist’s late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun. The Yoruba word Morayo translates to “I see joy.”


“It’s very, very personal,” he said of the album’s material, in an interview with Esquire over the summer. “I hope it lifts spirits and spreads positive energy.”


The 16-song set features collaborations with Jazmine Sullivan, Brent Faiyaz, Asake, Anaïse and Tiakola, and is the follow-up to 2022’s More Love, Less Ego, which peaked at No. 2 on the World Albums chart and No. 59 on the Billboard 200.


Morayo lead single “Piece of My Heart,” featuring Brent Faiyaz, was released ahead of the album in October, reaching No. 4 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and No. 7 on World Digital Song Sales.


Among the new music trailing behind Morayo on this week’s poll is ROSÉ’s solo single “Number One Girl,” which came in second place, and Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album GNX, which came in third.
