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

Three songs are challenging for No. 1 on next week’s Official Nigeria Top 100 in one of the most interesting race for the summit of the singles chart in Nigeria. The chart is set to be published on Monday, July 3 for the chart week of June 23 - 29, 2023. 

“Ojapiano” holds an overwhelming lead on radio with the song projected to become the first to hit 100 million in radio reach in a week. As a result, it has a 2x lead over “Basquiat” by Asake on radio and a 3x lead over Omah Lay’s “Reason” on airplay. 

Last week, Kcee’s “Ojapiano” became the second traditional song to reach No. 1 on the Official Nigeria Top 100. Interestingly, it fended off the challenge of another Asake song in “Amapiano” that week (although “Amapiano” would end up finishing at No. 3 on that week’s chart). 

This week’s No. 1, “Reason” is the leader on the streaming component of the chart with a day of tracking left. 

However, Asake’s “Basquiat” ranks at second place in the race on both radio and streaming. The chart will be revealed next week Monday.
