Shallipopi’s ‘Shakespopi’ Album Dominates Apple Music Charts, Sparking Farming Speculations

Rising Nigerian singer, Crown Uzama, known as Shallipopi, has made a significant impact on the Apple Music charts with his new album, ‘Shakespopi.’

Within 48 hours of its release, the album has claimed the top nine positions on the Apple Music Naija Top 100, surpassing other popular tracks, including Portable and Skepta’s ‘Tony Montana.’

The ‘Shakespopi’ album, which is Shallipopi’s second studio album, has been met with both support and skepticism from fans and critics alike.

Some have suggested that the rapid ascent of the album on the charts may be attributed to a practice called ‘farming,’ wherein streams are artificially boosted.

However, Shallipopi’s fans have defended the album’s success, attributing it to genuine support and streaming from his loyal fanbase in Benin.

The album’s dominance on the Apple Music charts has generated a buzz in the Nigerian music scene, with fans and critics debating the authenticity of the streaming numbers.

Regardless of the controversy, Shallipopi’s achievement in securing the top nine positions on the charts is a testament to his growing popularity and the impact of his music.

As the debate over ‘farming’ continues, Shallipopi’s ‘Shakespopi’ album remains a topic of discussion in the Nigerian music industry, highlighting the ongoing discussions around streaming numbers and the impact of music streaming platforms on artists’ success.
