The late Ghanaian highlife icon, Daddy Lumba, has made a powerful posthumous impact on the Apple Music Ghana Top Songs chart.
His classic track “Makra Mo” has claimed the No. 1 position, while an impressive 30 of his songs have entered the Top 100. Among the standout entries are “Ankwanoma” at No. 5, “Sika” at No. 6, “Se Sumye Kasa A” at No. 13, “Mpempem Do Me” at No. 15, “Mensei Da Harry (Remix)” at No. 17, and “Bribi Gyegye Wo” at No. 18.
The chart performance, based on Apple Music streaming data from Monday, July 28, reflects the deep emotional connection fans have with Lumba’s music following his passing on Saturday, July 26, at the age of 60.
In addition to his singles’ success, 22 of Daddy Lumba’s albums have also charted simultaneously on Apple Music Ghana’s Top Albums list. This marks a record-breaking feat for any Ghanaian artist on the platform.
The overwhelming response underscores Daddy Lumba’s lasting legacy and the timeless influence of his music across generations.
