Amen
Asake
If the rest of the album hit like Amen the replay conversation would be over. This is the peak for me.
Man On A Mission (feat. Wizkid)
Chris Brown
37-song album and this is still the one people are posting. That is feature economy in real time. Wizkid does not even need to dominate the whole track, he just has to enter for 45 seconds and the conversation moves to him.
Jogodo
Wizkid & Asake
1.3m first day is madness sha. fanbases did overtime
GONGO ASO (feat. Young Jonn)
Pheelz & Rii
Pheelz and Young Jonn on one song should be illegal producer nostalgia bait.
1942
Balloranking
New Dapper era, same emotional street-pop pocket. Solid, not explosive. Balloranking's voice always makes struggle sound melodic, but I want the next one to show a sharper left turn. 1942 is a good chapter, not the whole story.
Joanna
Skales & Elams
Joanna with French seasoning. not life changing, but summer friendly.
Jetski (FRIKI)
MOLIY, Yailin la Mas Viral & Theodora
MOLIY understands global pop better than people give her credit for. Jetski sounds like three markets arguing in the same club and somehow it works.
Dai Dai
Shakira & Burna Boy
Funny part is it's probably the best 2026 World Cup song and people still hate it. World Cup songs have a nostalgia problem now. Every new one is reviewed against somebody's childhood instead of what it is actually trying to do.
OPERA MINI
Poco Lee & Seyi Vibez
Number 2 with no big rollout is crazy. Street still moves faster than label money, especially when the hook already has a meme inside it. This is the kind of record that looks unserious until the chart position starts embarrassing everybody.
Many People
LADIPOE & Ema Onigah
Poe fans eat once every market cycle but when food comes it is usually cooked.
Chanel (feat. Asake)
Blaqbonez
1.6m first day for a rap song in Nigeria is nasty work. Chocolate City needed this flex because it proves Blaqbonez does not have to choose between rap credibility and mainstream chaos. Asake helped, obviously, but the record still feels like Blaq's world.
Tornado
Ayra Starr
Not her best but it is doing lead single work. Everybody has done that waist video by now, which is the point. Some songs are not supposed to be the album's emotional centre, they are supposed to make the rollout impossible to ignore.
Elumelu
Young Jonn
Young Jonn becoming the artist after producing everybody's hits is still funny to me. he won
No Place Like Home
Major Lazer, Nelly Furtado & Davido
This is stadium playlist music. nobody is coming here for deep lyrics.
I Can't Look Away
Mr P
I Can't Look Away is not chasing youth culture, and that is why it works. Proper intro, proper hook, proper choreography, no half-finished streaming bait. Sometimes veterans remind you structure matters.
Joy is Coming
Fido
Six weeks at No. 1 and a full clean sweep on the charts is not luck. Timing, message, UGC, radio, everything aligned. It is basically December optimism in song form.
