‘Audacity’ Tops Sierra Leone’s Apple Music Chart

Sierra Leonean Afro-fusion musician Drizilik’s latest album, Audacity, is making a strong early impression, topping Sierra Leone’s Apple Music album chart less than two weeks after its global release on September 30, 2026.

The album, a 10-track project, marks a new chapter for the musician, whose sound blends Krio, hip-hop, Afrobeats and elements of Sierra Leonean musical culture. As of October 13, 2026, Audacity was ranked number one on Apple Music’s Sierra Leone album chart, according to MusicMetrics, a platform that tracks music charts.

Strong Start on Streaming Platforms

Although a verified combined streaming total across platforms has not been publicly established, early figures and chart positions point to growing interest in the project.

The title track, featuring D4nny Beatz, had recorded more than 1,000 plays on Audiomack and 5.6k views on YouTube by the time of the latest available listing. The track serves as the album’s central message, encouraging listeners to believe in their abilities, pursue their ambitions and trust their own vision.

The album’s performance on Apple Music also provides an early indication of its reception among listeners in Sierra Leone, although chart position alone does not reveal the total number of streams or listeners.

Drizilik’s release has also received corporate backing through a partnership with Africell Sierra Leone. Africell announced the campaign before the album’s global release. It includes billboards and digital access to connect the music with audiences at home and abroad.
