No 1. Spot on. No. 2 Yes
Street Credibility deserves to be top 20
Asakes biggest song not on the list is a crime
And how is there no Naira Marley song

Number 1 position is the only one that makes sense to me, musically...!

So many shortcomings. Where will I even start.

Alhaji Tekno Duro should be in the top 15, same as Runtown Mad over You. Kiss Daniel Woju also. Terry G Free Madness / Akpako Master should be somewhere in the list.
don't mind them, someone will just sit inside his house and be adding whatever he likes as top 50

A list without on the low and common person by Burnaboy is wack.
Re: Billboard’s Afrobeats Top 50 Songs Of All Time (Full List) - 2Baba, Wizkid Lead by 12inchess: 2:42pm On Aug 21, 2025
No Lagbaja. The list is definitely compiled by Gen Zs. There are couple of songs that have no business being on the list. For example: What is Eminado doing on the list. Kele Kele Love is even a bigger song. So is MY Darling. Peace unto by Asake is on the list. Can you imagine. What is Monalisa by LoJay doing on the list. I can go on and on. This list is mostly trash. Ofcourse they got some things right like African Queen being number one and including Olufunmi by Styl Plus on the list.

Only Mad Over You deserve to be on the list

Agreed, but why the caption that Wizkid takes the lead biko
He is the only artist to appear twice in the top 10.
No other artists beats the fit

It's a shame having Ojuelegba at N0 2.

Naah, it isn't worth it at all. Style plus's "Olufunmi" or "run away" is more deserving of that spot even, P,square's "Temptation."
lol, ojuelegba is literally one the greatest afro beat hit song, that was the song that gave Nigeria international recognition... Wizzy is a living legend...

Mad over you by Runtown should be in the top 10. That song was one of the biggest hits of all time.
I agree with u

Wonder why Lagbaja is not in the list considering all the hits he had back in the days before relocating abroad

Billboard must be filled with Indomie generation. An afro beat list without Fela is not a list
Re: Billboard’s Afrobeats Top 50 Songs Of All Time (Full List) - 2Baba, Wizkid Lead by Paut(m): 3:41pm On Aug 21, 2025
Wizkid - Ojuelegba deserve it because that song will never get old.

Even Angelique Kidjo self no feature for here, I rate her very highly.

Tuface African Queen at number one is well deserved. 💯🫡👍

Unfortunately till today, most afrobeat songs lack quality lyrics. Many of those artists can't go far in their career because they can only sing about "baby", "party" and "money", nothing else.
that's why I rate Johnny Drille and Omah Lay really high.

2 face first and second albums will always remain evergreen and unsurpassed as far as Nigeria music industry is concerned.

Jerry2i:
Fair to me.
But 2baba should have at least claimed 3 spots on the top 5, followed by maybe flavour and style plus
almost all the songs in his first and second albums should feature here. Even his intros grin
Re: Billboard’s Afrobeats Top 50 Songs Of All Time (Full List) - 2Baba, Wizkid Lead by pook(m): 4:05pm On Aug 21, 2025
No single song by Fela Kuti. No one should take this list seriously.

Honestly you read my mind, Agolo ain't there, no Fela Kuti song. It should have been modern Afrobeat then

You go like explain how African Queen be Afro beat. And many other rubbish songs wey make the list
How they left out Angelique Kidjo in that list is what I can't understand.

As in.... Even the Father of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, didn't even have any entry in the genre he created. Make it make sense undecidedi feel they just picked African Queen as number 1 and then randomly picked 49 Naija songs to complete the list.
