TurnTable Charts launch the No. 1 Award Program for the Nigeria Top 100

TurnTable Charts officialy announce the launch of the No. 1 award program for the celebration of artistic achievements in Nigerian music. The award is designed and made eligible for all those involved in the creation of a No.1 single in the country (this is based on the weekly TurnTable Nigeria Top 100 which combines all streaming platforms and airplay across the country). As such, artistes (lead & featured), producers are eligible for the award.

Additionally, engineers and studio personnel are also eligible for the No. 1 award – these are two key areas that are often overlooked in music celebration in this part of the world. Finally, record labels, A&Rs, music distributors and managers of talents involved in the No. 1 single will be eligible for the award too.     

The purpose of this new initiative is to celebrate success, amplify unique achievement and recognize the unsung heroes of artistic milestones – from record label executives, producers, songwriters, A&Rs, engineers and more. You can order your own No. 1 award, provided there is sufficient evidence of your role in the creation of a single that peaked at No. 1 on the Nigeria Top 100. 

Fireboy DML and Asake are the first recipients of the award for their respective chart-topping singles ‘Bandana’ and ‘Peace Be Unto You.’ The former, which is still the No. 1 song in the country, has spent five consecutive weeks atop the Nigeria Top 100; while the latter became the first song to reach No. 1 on the TurnTable Nigeria Top 100 – which was launched on July 11, 2022.
