This is a list of recording artists who have reached number one on TurnTable magazine's weekly singles chart. TurnTable magazine launched the TurnTable chart on 3 July 2020, with its weekly official chart TurnTable Top 50, first led by Wizkid's "Ginger" featuring Burna Boy. Prior to the creation of the TurnTable Top 100, TurnTable published several component charts including the Top Airplay Chart and the Top Streaming Chart from July 9 and 13, 2020 respectively, as well as the TV Top Songs Chart from September 7, 2020. On 11 November 2020, TurnTable charts launched the first aggregate music chart in Nigeria that combined freemium streaming, radio and TV, the TurnTable Top 50. [1] The chart was expanded to the TurnTable Top 100, with the first issue launched on 11 July 2022, led by Asake's "Peace Be Unto You (PBUY)". [2] The TurnTable Top 100 is currently the music industry standard record chart in Nigeria for songs, with chart rankings based on airplay from radio and television plus online streaming. [3] [4]
