Black Sherif's Jolie is the best-placed track from any other act, sitting below the rapper's run of releases.

Pinned summary · as of

Ghanaian rapper Kweku Smoke has a firm grip on the local Apple Music rankings, with Bra, Bombele and Faith occupying the leading places. Two entertainment reports published a week apart, on 21 and 28 September, describe the same pattern of his tracks crowding out rivals.

What we know

  • Bra, Bombele and Faith, the last recorded with Lasmid, are Kweku Smoke's leading entries on Apple Music's Ghana chart, according to both The Vaultz News and Pulse Ghana.
  • Survivor and Soul Healer, also by Kweku Smoke, have been listed close to the top of that chart in both accounts.
  • Black Sherif's Jolie appears beneath Kweku Smoke's material rather than among the leaders, as both The Vaultz News and Pulse Ghana describe the rankings.

What's disputed / unconfirmed

  • The Vaultz News reported that Kweku Smoke is the first act to hold the top three spots on Shazam, Audiomack and Apple Music in Ghana simultaneously using one album, citing chart data shared online; no other report has verified this.
  • The Vaultz News, citing music analytics trackers, said the album's songs took every one of the top three Shazam Ghana places for the first time, and that the project reached streaming milestones on Audiomack faster than other Ghanaian releases in 2026. These claims rest on that publication alone.
  • The Vaultz News said at one point the album filled all ten of Apple Music Ghana's top places, with nine or more of its songs charting in recent days. Pulse Ghana's later snapshot instead has Kweku Smoke holding nine leading places on its 28 September chart, with Jolie at number 10.
  • Pulse Ghana, working from chart screenshots, listed Kweku Smoke's Mmereniho, Power House, Okwantunii and Hallelujah among the top nine, with Bra at number one, and placed several Black Sherif and other artists' songs further down the top 20. Its figures have not been matched by another report.
  • The Vaultz News said trade observers consider topping three platforms at once with a single album rare even in bigger markets, and that fans and fellow artists reacted online with delight. It also said Kweku Smoke had made no lengthy public comment on the achievement. None of this has been corroborated elsewhere.

Why it matters for Ghana

Streaming rankings shape which local artists get radio play, show bookings and sponsorship interest in Accra, Kumasi and beyond. A single act filling most of a national chart signals how strongly listeners in Ghana are turning to one album, and it affects the visibility of other musicians competing for the same audience.
