Wizkid has topped the overall chart for Nigeria’s first quarter of 2026, accumulating 403 million combined streaming and airplay impressions to emerge as the country’s most impactful artist across both metrics.
The result reflects the weight of airplay in his Q1 run, largely driven by “Jogodo,” his collaboration with Asake. The track became the longest-running number-one single of 2026 on the TurnTable Top 100, the official Nigerian chart compiled from a blend of streaming and airplay data. That sustained radio and television rotation gave Wizkid an edge on the combined metric, even as Asake (391M) and Seyi Vibez (313M) followed closely behind.
FOLA (289M) and Mavo (236M) round out the top five, the continued rise of two artists who have grown into genuine forces on the local chart. Davido (214M), Rema (187M), Omah Lay (186M), Burna Boy (167M), and Young Jonn (162M) complete the top 10.
The chart also features only one international entry: Gunna at No. 20 with 80.3M impressions, a sign that a vast majority of listeners in Nigeria prefer listening to our local acts way more tan they do international acts.
