Peruzzi’s “INFERNO” with Shoday & Zlatan Jumps to No. 1, Tiwa Savage’s “African Baddie” Debuts at No. 10

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 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

Peruzzi’s “INFERNO” with Zlatan & Shoday tallied 4.17 million on-demand streams (No. 1 on streaming) and 35.5 million in radio reach (No. 11 on radio). It jumps from No. 67 to No. 1 in its first full week of tracking to become Peruzzi’s first No. 1 single in Nigeria as well as Shoday & Zlatan’s second chart-topper on the Official Nigeria Top 100. 

Peruzzi previously reached number-one in a songwriting role on two occasions – “Holy Ground” by Davido featuring Nicki Minaj and “I Know Who I Be,” also by Davido featuring GL_Ceejay & JAZZWORLD. Having earned his first entry on the official singles chart on November 16, 2020, Peruzzi sets a new record for the longest span in history between a first chart entry and first No. 1 entry – 5 years, 11 months, and 24 days. 

With “Inferno,” Zlatan earns his second No. 1 entry on the official singles chart in Nigeria – becoming only the second rapper to have multiple number-one entries in the same year. He joins ODUMODUBLVCK who achieved the same feat in 2023 and 2024 respectively. 

Shoday earns his second No. 1 entry with “INFERNO” – joining “Paparazzi” featuring FOLA which also topped the chart for one week earlier this year. 

FOLA’s “miss u ii (nriri)” dips to No. 2 after topping the chart for three consecutive weeks while Asake’s “Gratitude” holds at No. 3 for another week. It logs a milestone 26th week in the top ten, surpassing “Lonely At The Top” (also by Asake) to become the second longest top ten entry on the official singles chart in history – behind only the 30 weeks of Fireboy DML & Ed Sheeran’s “Peru” (30 weeks). 

Seyi Vibez’s “Back 2 U” rebounds from No. 5 back to its No. 4 peak in its tenth week on the Top 100. 

Rema’s “Oh No” drops 4-5 while Seyi Vibez’s “Ilome” falls 2-6. It previously topped the Official Nigeria Top 100 for two weeks. 

Davido’s “B4 B4” with FOLA & Mayorkun is steady at No. 7 for another week after leading the chart for six weeks. 

Rounding out this week’s top ten; Seyi Vibez’s “GTA” holds at No. 2, Asake & Blaqbonez’s “IKEBE 3000” lifts 10-9 while Tiwa Savage’s “African Baddie” debuts at No. 10. It tallied 70.5 million in radio reach (No. 1 on radio) and 65,000 on-demand streams (No. 418 on streaming).
