The album’s impact hasn’t been confined to a single platform as it managed to secure the third spot for the highest number of first-day streams for a Nigerian album on Spotify with 1.81 million streams.

The album trails Davido’s Timeless, which holds the record for highest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria and Asake’s Work of Art. With this feat, Olamide confidently claims the title of the rapper with the most substantial opening day streams in Nigeria.

Further, Unruly has charted in 55 countries since its release, which is a record for a rap album in Africa.
