From Q1 to Q3, Nigerian labels celebrated record-breaking achievements, including a major milestone where a Nigerian-owned label crossed the billion-stream mark.

As the year nears its end, TurnTable Charts, a top Nigerian music analytics company, highlights EMPIRE and Dapper Music as top performers, alongside other major players like Virgin Music, YBNL Nation, and Mavin Records.

An October 30th report by TurnTable Charts attributes Dapper Music’s success in part to popular releases by street-hop star Seyi Vibez and his Vibez Inc signees—Tml Vibez, Muyeez, Billion Solar, and Nerrycole—bringing Dapper above other local imprints such as YBNL and Mavin Records.

Partnered with Virgin Music, Dapper Music reached over one billion streams by Q3, while EMPIRE, partnering with YBNL, achieved similar milestones across five major streaming platforms.

Virgin Music currently leads the Nigerian market with an 8.62% share, followed by EMPIRE at 8.25% and Virgin Music Nigeria at 8.15%. Warner Music Group, in collaboration with Chocolate City and Africori, holds a 4.81% share, propelled by TitoM & Yuppe’s hit remix “Tshwala Bam,” featuring Grammy-winner Burna Boy.

Universal Music Group ranks sixth with a 4.14% market share, with over half driven by its partnership with Mavin Records. Vibez Inc., YBNL Nation, and Mavin Records occupy seventh through ninth places, while Sony Music rounds out the top ten.

In October, Ed Sheeran tagged “Peru” the second biggest-selling song of the year by the British singer.

The Grammy award-winning singer jumped on YBNL Fireboy’s hit track, “Peru” to deliver a banger after a friend, Jamal, now late introduced him to the Afrobeats singer in 2021.

Before then, the English singer admitted during an interview with Elton John that “Peru” released on July, 21, 2021 was an addictive earworm he was obsessed with.

He added his wife could attest to the fact that he had the song on repeat in his household after he listened to it first.

In another interview, the “Perfect” singer stated “Peru” remix ended up becoming not just the biggest collaboration in England that year but also the second biggest-selling song of the year.

“I did an Afrobeat song with an artiste, Fireboy DML. And it’s ended up being the biggest selling collaboration in England this year. It’s the second biggest selling song of the year”, he said.

Quotable Lyrics:

I put it on the line, every dollar, every dime
Why not?
I made it through the fire, came out on the other side
Shout out to my enemies, notice that they into me
Keep that same energy, wondering why I’m winning?
Hey!
Why not?
