FOLA’s debut album Catharsis has reached a major streaming milestone in Nigeria.
The project has now spent 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Nigeria Spotify Albums Chart, making it the longest-running No. 1 album released in 2025 so far.
According to Spotify Nigeria chart data, this achievement places Catharsis in rare company. The last album to record a similarly long stay at the top of the chart was Wizkid’s Morayo, which also logged 10 weeks at No. 1 during its run.
Released in 2025, Catharsis has steadily grown from a strong debut into a dominant streaming force. The album’s sustained performance reflects:
- Consistent listener retention week after week
- Strong word-of-mouth and playlist support
- A growing core fanbase driving repeat streams
Rather than debuting and quickly fading, Catharsis has shown unusual staying power, a metric increasingly used to measure true impact in the streaming era.
Spending double digit weeks at No. 1 on Nigeria’s Spotify Albums Chart remains a rare feat, even among top-tier Nigerian artists. By matching the 10-week benchmark previously set by Wizkid’s Morayo, FOLA’s album enters a very short list of projects with that level of dominance.
As 2026 continues, Catharsis currently stands as the most commercially consistent album of the year on Nigerian Spotify.
