Kweku Smoke still holds Ghana Apple Music top soot
Five weeks. That's how long Kweku Smoke has been sitting at No. 1 on the Apple Music Ghana chart, and honestly, that's not normal.
His track Faith with Lasmid is still holding the top spot, and the crazy part? He's basically taken over the entire Top 10. Every single slot from one to ten belongs to him. Kofi Mole's BALOTELLI (SUPA) is sitting at No. 11, and No Days Off is right behind at No. 12. That's not hype, that's dominance.
And that's exactly why this matters. Anyone can drop a song and trend for a weekend. We see it all the time. But five weeks at No. 1 means people keep coming back. They're not just curious anymore, they're actually listening, replaying, and staying with the music. That's the difference between a moment and a movement.
It also says something bigger for Ghana music right now. For a long time, people doubted whether local rap could hold its own long-term on streaming. This run proves it can. It's not just about one big week, it's about consistency, and Kweku Smoke is showing that Ghanaian hip-hop can compete on the same level as anything else.
The only real competition so far has been Black Sherif's Jolie, which briefly showed up at No. 6 after the album dropped. But even that got pushed out of the visible Top 10 in the latest chart. That tells you just how strong this run really is.
If you're looking for a photo to go with this, skip the selfie. His London show at Electric Brixton back in May works way better. Sarkodie and Shatta Wale pulled up on stage with him, that's the energy behind this whole moment. That's what staying power looks like.
