Ghanaian Highlife legend Daddy Lumba has made history as 43 of his songs simultaneously chart on the Apple Music Ghana Top Songs list — a record-breaking moment and the first time such a feat has been achieved by any artist on an Apple Music chart in Africa.
The unprecedented surge in streams comes in the wake of the music icon’s recent passing, as fans across the country and beyond turn to his timeless catalog to honor his legacy.
This moment marks a significant milestone not only for Daddy Lumba’s career but for Ghana’s music industry at large. It is the first time in Apple Music Africa history that a single artist has had this many songs trending on the platform’s top chart.
With classic hits such as “Aben Wo Aha,” “Theresa,” and “Yentie Obiaa” re-emerging into national playlists, the renewed interest reflects the deep cultural and emotional impact Daddy Lumba has had on generations of music lovers.
Music analysts say the chart performance underscores Lumba’s lasting influence and the timeless nature of his sound, which blends traditional Highlife with soul-stirring lyrics and unforgettable melodies.
Fans, fellow musicians, and public figures continue to pay tribute to the legend, whose musical contributions have shaped the Ghanaian soundscape for over four decades.
Daddy Lumba’s chart domination serves as a powerful reminder that true legends never fade — their music only grows louder.
