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 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
“Piece of My Heart” Makes History With Its No. 1 Debut
Wizkid’s “Piece of My Heart” with Brent Faiyaz tallied 4.51 million on-demand streams (No. 1 on streaming) and 61.1 million in radio reach (No. 4 on radio) as it makes a splash at the top of this week’s Official Nigeria Top 100.
It is Wizkid’s third No. 1 single in Nigeria (and second of 2024) while Brent Faiyaz scores his first No. 1 in Nigeria (remarkably in any country).
Record Streams on Premium Streaming
“Piece of My Heart” tallied 3.16 million on-demand streams on premium streaming platforms alone – a number that would have still made it the most-streamed song in Nigeria this week without any freemium streams. The song was not available for download on Boomplay Nigeria in its first, which means it failed to chart on the platform.
As a result, “Piece of My Heart” becomes only the second song ever to reach No. 1 on the official singles chart without being available on one of the 5 major streaming platforms in the country. It joins Gyakie’s “Forever (Remix)” with Omah Lay which topped the chart for four weeks in 2021.
