It is the first and only standard music chart in Nigeria, providing comprehensive music activity including the official No. 1 song in Nigeria

BNXN & Sarz’s “Back Outside” tallied 3.18 million on-demand streams (No. 1 on streaming) and 33.5 million in radio airplay impressions (No. 11 on radio) in its first full week of tracking.
