Some artists have been more consistent than others while others added bodies of work to cement their place.

Nigerian artists did great in 2020. They used COVID-19 and the immobility of it to their advantage, they crafted music, experimented with sound, released bodies of work and were entirely relentless.

To match their efforts, streaming platforms are making inroads into the country and needed figures across the ecosystem are taking shape to solve structural problems.

But amidst it all, there was music - great music. Music that made mothers get off their sets, that made women fall in love, that made grown men cry, that mended broken hearts, served as accomplice for spliff moments, soundtracks protests and set clubs on fire.

Some artists have been more consistent than others while others added bodies of work to cement their place. With streaming platforms still unable to boast of a combined two million subscribers in a country of 200 million, we can’t rely on streaming numbers for this list.
