In the bid to explore current trends in the music industry, a survey by NOIPolls asked respondents who their favorite Nigerian Musician was. Findings revealed that ‘Tuface’ topped the chart as the most liked Musician with 13% fan base. Although Nigerians are more inclined to Religious music, this has not affected their judgment of favorite musicians.

Results are not surprising when considering Tuface’s talent and hard work as evidenced by several national (Nigerian Music Awards) and international awards (MTV Europe Music Award, World Music Award, etc.) that he has received. His most recent award nomination was for the Best Live Act at the 2014 MTV Music Africa Awards.

The next three musicians liked by Nigerians were;

‘Davido’ (7%) who is mostly liked by Nigerians aged 18-21 years (10%);
‘Frank Edwards’ (6%) mostly liked by Nigerians aged 22-29 years (10%) and
'Wizkid’ (5%) who is mostly liked by respondents aged 18-21 years (20%).
