Mike Ejeagha's 41-year-old album makes historic debut on Spotify chart
Veteran artist Gentleman Mike Ejeagha's 1982 album, Akuko N'egwu, has made its debut on the NG Spotify chart at number 95, 41 years after its initial release.
This achievement marks a historic milestone, as it becomes the oldest work to ever appear on the chart.
Additionally, the album's resurgence in popularity can be attributed to skit maker Brain Jotter, who used the viral hit Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche in one of his skits. This sparked a wave of interest among celebrities and music enthusiasts alike. This is especially because of a line in the song, "Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo".
Meanwhile, Ejeagha's album has not only gained recognition but has also broken records. So, it has become the oldest work to achieve such a feat. Also, this unexpected turn of events has brought the veteran musician back into the spotlight. It has introduced his classic work to a new generation of music lovers.
