Gunna’s album “One of Wun” has achieved a remarkable feat by spending three consecutive months in the NG Apple Albums Top 10, becoming the first non-Nigerian album to accomplish this in 2024. This milestone highlights the significant impact the album has had on the Nigerian music scene, where local artists typically dominate the charts.
The sustained success of One of Wun in Nigeria speaks to Gunna’s global appeal and the universal resonance of his music. Despite the strong presence of Afrobeat and other indigenous genres on the NG Apple Albums chart, Gunna’s blend of trap, hip-hop, and melodic rap has struck a chord with Nigerian listeners. This crossover success is a testament to the album’s wide-ranging influence, appealing to fans across different cultures and musical preferences.

In a year marked by a surge in locally produced music, One of Wun has managed to hold its own against some of the most popular Nigerian releases. The album’s ability to stay in the Top 10 for three months is particularly impressive given the fierce competition from albums by artists like Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema, who have dominated the Nigerian music landscape in 2024.
Gunna’s achievement with One of Wun not only underscores his stature as a global artist but also reflects the evolving nature of music consumption in Nigeria. As the country’s audience becomes more diverse and open to international sounds, albums like One of Wun are finding a strong foothold in a market traditionally dominated by local music. This success could pave the way for more international artists to make a significant impact in Nigeria, further enriching the country’s vibrant music scene.
The record set by One of Wun on the NG Apple Albums Top 10 is a clear indication of Gunna’s ability to connect with audiences worldwide, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. It’s a notable achievement that highlights the growing interconnectivity of the global music industry, where artists from different parts of the world can achieve success in markets far from home. As Gunna continues to build on this momentum, his influence in Nigeria and beyond is likely to grow, solidifying his position as one of the leading voices in contemporary hip-hop.
