TurnTable Top 100 celebrates the biggest songs in Nigeria with plaques

TurnTable Charts is pleased to announce the launch of the No. 1 award program for the celebration of artistic achievements in Nigerian music.

The award is designed and made eligible for all those involved in the creation of a No.1 single in the country (this is based on the weekly TurnTable Nigeria Top 100 which combines all streaming platforms and airplay across the country). As such, artists (lead & featured), and producers are eligible for the award.

Additionally, engineers and studio personnel are also eligible for the No. 1 award – these are two key areas that are often overlooked in music celebrations in this part of the world.

Finally, record labels, A&Rs, music distributors, and managers of talents involved in the No. 1 singles will be eligible for the award too.

The purpose of this new initiative is to celebrate success, amplify unique achievements and recognize the unsung heroes of artistic milestones – from record label executives, producers, songwriters, A&Rs, Engineers, and more. You can order your own No. 1 award, provided there is sufficient evidence of your role in the creation of a single that peaked at No. 1 on the Nigeria Top 100.

Fireboy DML and Asake are the first recipients of the award for their respective chart-topping singles ‘Bandana’ and ‘Peace Be Unto You.’ The former, which is still the No. 1 song in the

country, has spent five consecutive weeks atop the Nigeria Top 100; while the latter became the first song to reach No. 1 on the TurnTable Nigeria Top 100 – which was launched on July 11, 2022.

Songs Eligible for a No. 1 Award All the No. 1 songs on the aggregate charts published by TurnTable Charts are eligible for the award. TurnTable Charts has published two aggregate music charts to date; the defunct TurnTable Top 50 and the newly launched TurnTable Nigeria Top 100. The former was active from November 11, 2020, to July 4, 2022.
