Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale's latest album, SAFA, has peaked at number two on the Apple Music Charts in Ghana, marking another milestone for the project.
The news comes after Shatta Wale took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the album's success and point out that it was achieved without the backing of major industry support.
In his post, Shatta Wale highlighted the fact that SAFA had climbed the charts without the involvement of a distribution or record label, bragging about his ability to thrive independently. His fanbase, Shatta Movement, has also celebrated the achievement, sharing his excitement on social media.
While SAFA held the second spot, it was behind rival Kweku Smoke's Born in Hell album, which continued to reign at number one after several weeks. Despite this, Shatta Wale was happy about his album's performance.
Entertainment pundit analyses SAFA
Chris Tsormanah, in a conversation with YEN.com.gh, spoke on the performance on Shatta Wale's SAFA album and expressed that it is expected for the musician's project to perform better than it has given his reputation as one of the biggest artists in the country. He said:
"The performance has not been bad; it has performed well on Audiomack, but for someone like Shatta Wale, you would expect him to do even better, given what he has done in the past with previous projects. All the same it is a decent performance."
