Her sentiments were echoed by Ayomide Oriowo, co-Editor-in-Chief of TurnTable Charts, “This new partnership is a landmark for TurnTable Charts as a music chart publication as it represents our first direct agreement with a DSP operating in Nigeria. The partnership makes the data points used for our charts better and bigger. Additionally, it offers an opportunity to provide better platform-specific analytics and reports.

"Finally, with Boomplay as the largest music streaming service in Nigeria, this is the first step to creating genre charts that puts the spotlight on other genres of music beyond popular music in Nigeria as well as an albums chart that gives the performance of albums across all platform. We are delighted to have Boomplay as a partner”
