As Pulse Nigeria and with the aid of Nigeria’s foremost charting platform, TurnTable Charts, we have decided to analyse the first week numbers of these Nigerian artists across Audiomack, YouTube, iTunes and Boomplay. This analysis will also examine the highest charting positions of songs on those albums on Apple Music and iTunes.
That 14-day period was one of the busiest weeks in Nigerian music over the course of 2020. Burna Boy's Twice As Tall has been left off this analysis because his numbers are an outlier.
Shazam and positions of songs off those albums on TurnTable Charts’s Airplay Charts will also be considered.
Before we go ahead, here are Pulse Nigeria's ratings of all the albums;
Fireboy [Apollo] - 7.6 [Victory]
Adekunle Gold [Afro Pop Vol. 1] - 7.6 [Victory]
Patoranking [Three] - 7.0 [Victory]
Tiwa Savage [Celia] - 6.4 [Victory]
Here is a breakdown of the numbers;
Boomplay
Album | Boomplay numbers |
Apollo | 3.5M – 997k = 2.503 million streams (999k from first-day of release [Apollo was released on Thursday] |
Afro Pop Vol 1 | 753k + 90k from clean version = 843k streams |
