Ayra Starr’s new song “Commas” hits No. 1 on Apple Music’s Nigerian Top 100 Songs
Nigerian sensation and Marvin Records signee, Ayra Starr, has once again defied expectations by claiming the coveted No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s Nigerian Top 100 songs chart.
Her achievement reinforces her status as the “Celestial Being” and the “Sabi Girl” of her era, having repeatedly reached the summit of the chart. This time, she dethroned Kizz Daniel’s “Twe Twe” remix featuring Davido, which had held the top spot for approximately a month.
Ayra Star’s consistent success since bursting onto the scene underscores her status as one of Nigeria’s most promising talents. Particularly noteworthy is her dominance compared to her female peers in the industry.
Her latest triumph on Apple Music’s chart comes shortly after she and other Nigerian artists, including Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide, and Asake, missed out on Grammy wins at the 66th Grammy Awards. This No. 1 achievement may serve as a source of solace following the disappointment of not securing a Grammy, a setback felt deeply within the Afrobeats community given the absence of Nigerian winners.
Ayra Star’s continued success underscores the notion that an artist’s true measure of success lies not solely in awards but also in their chart-topping numbers.
