FOLA’s Catharsis Sets Record With 10.66M First-Week Streams on Spotify Nigeria
FOLA’s Catharsis continues to make history, shattering records and redefining what a Nigerian debut album can achieve. In just its first week on Spotify Nigeria, the project amassed a staggering 10.66 million streams, making it the biggest first-week debut ever recorded on the platform in the country.
This milestone cements FOLA’s place as one of the most talked-about new acts of 2025, with Catharsis quickly evolving from a highly anticipated debut to a cultural phenomenon. The album’s honest storytelling, emotional depth, and genre-blending production have resonated with a broad audience, pushing it beyond borders.
The Nigerian streaming record comes shortly after another global feat: Catharsis ranked No. 2 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut Global chart — the highest-ever position for a Nigerian debut project. Together, these achievements highlight the dual impact of the album: dominating at home while also commanding international attention.
For FOLA, these numbers represent more than streams — they mark the beginning of a legacy. In an era where debuts often struggle to cut through, Catharsis has arrived with unprecedented force, setting a new benchmark for rising artists in Nigeria and across the continent.
