Released in December 2023, the track’s fusion of Afrobeat and fuji influences and heartfelt lyrics about resilience struck a chord with fans nationwide.

Released in late 2023, the track captivated listeners with its minimalist production and evocative vocals. ‘Holy Ghost’ further rebranded Omah Lay’s reputation for creating sad and emotionally resonant music.

‘Cast’

In third place, Shallipopi’s ‘Cast,’ featuring Odumodublvck, brought the energy of Nigeria’s streets to the charts. Its playful slang and upbeat tempo made it a viral sensation among young listeners.

‘Twe Twe’

Meanwhile, Kizz Daniel’s ‘Twe Twe,’ with its Yoruba style and relatable love lyrics, landed fourth place. Later, featuring Davido, ‘Twe Twe’ demonstrated the singers’ knack for delivering timeless hits.

‘Cana’

Seyi Vibez appears again in the top five with Cana, further showcasing his storytelling talent and fan appeal.

Other tracks that defined 2024

Ranking number six is Wizkid’s “IDK” featuring Zlatan, which showcased a seamless blend of Afrobeats and street pop. At the same time, Chike and the late Mohbad’s “Egwu” stood out with its emotional depth, often seen as a heartfelt tribute to Mohbad’s legacy.

Burna Boy also made notable contributions with tracks like “Tshwala Bam” (remix) and “Higher,” both of which resonated strongly with fans.

Young Jonn’s “Bahamas” delivered an escapist vibe, full of tropical imagery and melodies. Meanwhile, Asake’s “Remember” and his Work of Art album continued to push the boundaries of Amapiano-infused Afrobeats.

A defining trend in 2024 was the dominance of mid-tempo tracks, reflecting a preference for soothing yet engaging sounds.

Interestingly, many top songs were released in late 2023, indicating a nostalgic trend where older hits overshadowed newer releases.

Nonetheless, Afrobeats music stars like Omah Lay, Burna Boy, and Wizkid maintained their grip on the industry, creating music that resonated across generations.
