Chart rankings on the Official Nigeria Top 100 are based on a weighted formula incorporating audio and video streams within Nigeria, as well as airplay on radio and satellite TV in the country. It is the first and only standard music chart in Nigeria, providing comprehensive music activity including the official No. 1 song in Nigeria

Asake’s “Lonely At The Top” equals the long-standing record of Omah Lay’s “Godly” as the longest running No. 1 song in singles chart history. It rules the Official Nigeria Top 100 for a record-tying eleventh week - the joint longest run at No. 1 since music tracking began in 2020.

“Lonely At The Top” tallied 2.50 million on-demand streams (No. 3 on streaming) and 83.2 million in radio reach (No. 1 on radio for ten weeks). The song extends its record as the longest No. 1 song of 2023 in Nigeria. 

“Lonely At The Top” began its record breaking run in the chart week of July 7 - 13 when it became Asake’s record-padding 11th No. 1 song in Nigeria. It has since topped the chart for another ten weeks seeing off the challenge of multiple songs.
