Set is an album by the Senegalese musician Youssou N'Dour, released in 1990.[1][2] The album in part inspired the Senegalese youth movement Set-Setal, which sought to beautify Dakar.[3]
The album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard World Albums chart.[4] Virgin Records was disappointed by the album's commercial performance, and dropped N'Dour shortly after the album's release.[5]
