Seyi Vibez (born Oluwaloseyi Afolabi Balogun) has clinched another global milestone as his new album, FUJI MOTO, debuts inside the top 10 of the Billboard World Albums Chart.

 

The release marks the singer’s third appearance on the chart, following Children of Africa earlier this year and 2023’s Nahamciaga, and stands as his second-highest entry. Children of Africa previously peaked at No. 8, while Nahamciaga reached No. 13.

 

FUJI MOTO also extends Nigeria’s strong run on the Billboard World Albums Chart in 2025. It becomes the ninth Nigerian project to earn a spot this year, joining Zinoleesky’s Gen Z, Olamide’s Olamide, BNXN’s CAPTAIN, Burna Boy’s No Sign of Weakness, Davido’s 5ive, Kizz Daniel’s Uncle K: Lemon Chase, FOLA’s CATHARSIS, and Seyi Vibez’s own Children of Africa.

 

On streaming, the album is already setting personal records. FUJI MOTO delivered Seyi Vibez’s strongest opening to date on Spotify, amassing over 4.5 million streams within its first 24 hours.
