Nigerian musicians Who have dropped Hit Songs in 2022 so far
Asake Feat. Burna Boy – Sungba (Remix)
Ever heard of the phrase “Grace meets talent and hard work”?
Asake is surely the best Artiste to be used as an example for such, after getting a feature from the African Giant, Burna Boy on his already groundbreaking single titled “Sungba’
After garnering over 30 million airplay on digital platforms, believe us when we say this song is a strong contender not just for the first quarter of the year but for the song of the whole year.
After topping the Apple Music Top 100 chart in Nigeria and remaining top three as of today,
Burna boy delivered as we expected him to on Sungba remix. His lyrics are so intriguing and appropriate for Sungba remix.
With this monster hit, “Calm Down”, it is evident that whatever Rema serves up will only be another step towards the powerhouse he is capable of becoming.
Leaving most observant listeners in suspense, Rema initiates what can be called his storytelling abilities in this single that has generated almost 40 million streams. it’s no different as its catchy beat evokes feelings of nostalgia in listeners.
Notable feats in just the first week of release are:- 6 countries iTunes Top Songs Charts, 38 countries Apple Music Top Charts, 2 countries Spotify Daily Songs Charts, 4 countries YouTube Daily Charts, 8 countries Deezer Top Songs Charts, 7 countries Top Shazam Charts. and lots more
With these feats, don’t you think we have music of the year already
Fireboy – Playboy
From his much-anticipated album titled Playboy, Fireboy dropped his first single of the year also titled Playboy.
Fireboy showed a glimpse of what to expect from the album with song topping chats on different music platforms. It’s been 3 years since his debut with runs of back-to-back hits.
It seems Fireboy already has a formula and a cheat code to this music thing, with his melodies and vocals on a check, Playboy is another song that shows he is indeed here to stay and his anticipated album would be another record-breaking one.
Crayon– “Ijo Laba Laba”
Mavins Record artiste and Sensational singer, Crayon returned to music scene with this amazing track titled, “Ijo (Laba Laba)”.
The song was topping all charts in Nigeria for weeks as the number song and is still in the top 10 to date.
We can confidently say, Crayon‘s song deserves to be on everyone’s playlist since he is the new king giving us back-to-back hits.
Asake – Omo Ope
Starting the year on a phenomenal note, Asake taps Nigerian pop featuring Olamide for “Omo Ope,” a euphoric new single that successfully expands the singer’s musical fame.
In the song, Asake leans into common advocacy in street pop: living the good life and indulging in whatever material and hedonistic excesses you deem fit.
“Omo Ope” is solely focused on the enjoyment that’s happening at the moment. “Mo s’are f’owo mi s’aye/gbomo mefa l’ole/emi omo ope o,” Asake sings in self-congratulation on the hook.
Produced by Magicsticks, “Omo Ope” is a masterclass in song arrangement, with over two million streams on Audiomack already, in just over a week of release, “Omo Ope” looks like Asake’s next big hit. Besides that, it’s one of the best songs in Nigerian pop music this early into the new year.
Kizz Daniel – Buga
Flyboi Inc founder and multi-award-winning Nigerian artist, Kizz Daniel makes a triumphant comeback with a new smash track titled “Buga.”
Tekno, a multi-skilled vocalist, and Cartel music head honcho joins the outstanding singer and composer for this time around.
Nevertheless, “Barnabas,” Kizz Daniel’s most-streamed song to date, acts as a follow-up to the new single he just dropped.
Even if you probably already own the most current ridiculous hit single, you should still listen to this song since it’s a great one
Zinoleesky – Rocking
“Rocking” was Zino’s debut single for the year and it comes after his previously released 2021 single titled “Gone Far” which was produced by TimiJay.
It lacked the elements that would pique your interest in the song. Zinoleesky’s delivery improved gradually, but he didn’t fully deliver until the end of “Rocking,” which harmed the song’s overall quality.
On “Rocking,” Zinoleesky did a lot of lyricism, which is commendable. It is, in fact, praiseworthy.
He employs logical and professional-sounding lyrics, demonstrating that he is no novice when it comes to songwriting.
Buju Feat. Zinoleesky – Kilometre (Remix)
With over 5.45 million plays on Audiomack, I’d say Kilometer was a success in terms of average listening statistics today.
Kilometer is a song about how far Buju ‘BNXN‘ has come, so this remix is necessary to some extent and the remix’s inclusion of Zinoleesky is significant.
Without a doubt, Zinoleesky has had a very successful career thus far, especially with the success of his first single, ‘Rocking.’
So yes, being on number 8 is well deserved.
Pheelz Feat. Buju – Finesse
How does it feel going from a music producer to an artist topping the charts and even securing a spot on the billboard? Well, I guess you should ask Pheelz that.
“Finesse” was no doubt one of the most trend songs in Nigeria even up till now, with the melodious contribution of BNXN fka Buju.
“If I broke na my business” as being one of the most used statements by Nigerians ever since the release of the song.
With this song, Pheelz had proved to the Industry that he is not just a mere producer, he has proved he had something that could get you all speaker banging.
Before the release of “Finesse”, the snippet had already been going crazy on social media and after the release, it managed to break through a lot of unbelievable charts and even got Pheelz a record deal with an international record label.
Without long capping, you all know how this song turns the whole place on fire when you hear it in the club or anywhere.
