Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale released his long-awaited album M.A.A.L.I on March 30, 2023.
Barely two days after its release it hit the number one spot on the iTunes USA Reggae Top Albums Chart.
Shatta Wale’s album beat the legendary Bob Marley, and The Wailers’ Legend album that took the second position.
In third and fourth place respectively was Stick Figure’s Wisdom, and Set in Stone.
With this milestone, the M.A.A.L.I album has become the first album by an African act to top the charts.
Reacting the great news, he stated that he was in disbelief that his album beat others to grab the enviable number one spot.
Drooping a lovely picture looking dapper in a white long-sleeved shirt, black waistcoat and trousers, he beamed with smiles as he bragged about his album topping the charts.
