Drake’s ICEMAN and Famous Pluto’s Street Therapist Climb Up Apple Music Nigeria Albums Chart

Famous Pluto’s Debut Album Cracks Apple Music Nigeria Top 3, Competing With Drake’s Latest Release

Nigeria’s streaming charts are witnessing an exciting standoff as rising star Famous Pluto’s debut album Street Therapist has secured the No. 3 spot on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums Chart, going head-to-head with Drake’s surprise project ICEMAN, which landed at No. 2. For a breakthrough artist to crack the top three alongside one of hip-hop’s global heavyweights represents a significant validation of Famous Pluto’s growing influence in the Nigerian music ecosystem.

Street Therapist showcases Famous Pluto’s ability to navigate between melodic Afrobeats and street-pop, weaving together narratives about ambition, relationships, and the realities of street life. The project’s emotional depth and relatable storytelling have clearly resonated with Nigerian listeners, helping the album gain serious momentum since its release. The debut LP also benefits from strategic features with established names including Zlatan, Zerry DL, Muyeez, brazy, and Zaylevelten—collaborations that have helped introduce Famous Pluto to diverse fan bases across the country’s music scene.

What makes this chart achievement particularly noteworthy is the competitive landscape. While Drake’s ICEMAN naturally commanded massive attention upon its surprise drop, Famous Pluto’s ability to hold a top-three position demonstrates real staying power and authentic connection with audiences. Fans have praised Street Therapist for balancing commercially appealing tracks with more introspective, emotionally-driven records that reflect the artist’s personal journey. As the album continues building steam across streaming platforms and social media, it’s becoming clear that Famous Pluto is positioning himself as one of the most promising new voices in Nigeria’s ever-evolving Afrobeats landscape.
