Asake’s MMWTV earned 10,000 album units in Nigeria during the week of October 28 – November 3, 2022. This equals 15 million on-demand streams of the album tracks during the tracking week.

Bella Shmurda’s Hypertension starts at No. 2 with 6,732 units, equaling 10.1 million on-demand streams of the set’s tracks. Burna Boy’s Love, Damini earned 4,410 units to start at No. 3. The rest of the top five is completed by albums from Chocolate City; Young Jonn’s Love Is Not Enough at No. 4 (3,681 units) and Blaqbonez’s Young Preacher at No. 5 (3,337 units).

Seyi Vibez’s debut album, Billion Dollar Baby earned 3,151 units off two days of availability during the tracking week to start at No. 6. Ayra Starr’s 19 & Dangerous (Deluxe) occupies the No. 7 spot with 2,828 units while Black Sherif’s The Villain I Never Was earned 2,279 units to start at No. 8.

Rounding out the top ten; Fireboy DML’s Playboy ranks at No. 9 – it earned 2,214 units while Omah Lay’s Boy Alone earned 1,796 units to rank at No. 10.

The TurnTable Top 50 Albums chart employs a weighted system similar to the existing Top Streaming Songs chart – a point-per-play system that assigns values to streams on different streaming platforms. Paid-streams will be weighted as one point per play value, freemium streams will be weighted as 0.75 point per play, ad-supported video streams from YouTube will be weighted 0.66 point per play while ad-supported streams will be weighted 0.5 point per play.

This follows standard practice by other official music chart publications across the world who assign different weights to streaming platforms based on payment type. Additionally, the TurnTable Top 50 Albums Chart as well as other genre-based consumption-ranked albums charts — will employ a single tier (equating 1,500 streams as one album unit) for on-demand audio streams (paid or ad-supported) from subscription services. Video streams will also contribute to the Top 50 Albums Chart.
