Chart rankings on the Official Nigeria Top 100 are based on a weighted formula incorporating audio and video streams within Nigeria, as well as airplay on radio and satellite TV in the country. It is the first and only standard music chart in Nigeria, providing comprehensive music activity including the official No. 1 song in Nigeria

With 2.89 million streams (No. 1 on streaming for 9 weeks) and 90.9 million in radio reach (No. 1 on radio for 9 weeks), Asake’s ‘Lonely at the Top’ spends another week sitting firmly at the Top spot on the chart. The song is the first song to spend ten weeks at the No. 1 spot on the chart since Joeboy’s “Sip(Alcohol)” did that last in December 2021.

Crayon and Ayra Starr’s ‘Ngozi’ overtakes Burna Boy’s ‘City Boys’ by taking the No.2 spot while pushing ‘City Boys’ down to No.3 on the charts. His other entry in the Top 10, ‘Giza’ has descended all the way down to No. 9, a long way off from the No. 2 position it debuted at.

Khaid’s ‘Anabella’ and Omah Lay’s ‘Reason’ retain their positions at No. 4 and No.5 respectively. Omah Lay’s Reason has been holding forte on the charts for 13 weeks, refusing to fall out of the Top Ten position since it peaked at No. 1.

Shallipopi’s ‘Obapluto’ ascends rapidly from No.10 to No. 6. While Olamide’s ‘Jinja’ makes its way back into the Top ten by climbing into No.7 all the way from the No.11 spot it was at last week.  It is, however, not the only song to slide back into Top Ten this week as Falz’s ‘Ndi Ike’ slithers back into the No.8 spot on the Top Ten Charts.

The last spot on the list is taken by BNXN’s ‘Sweet Tea (Aduke)', which just happens to be making its debut on the chart.
