Last updated

The TurnTable Top 50 ranked the best-performing singles in Nigeria from its launch in November 2020, through mid-2022, utilizing a three-metric methodology that combines radio airplay data from 54 radio stations tracked by Radiomonitor, television airplay data from five cable television channels monitored through Radiomonitor and media planning service, and streaming data from three major freemium platforms: YouTube, Boomplay Music, and Audiomack. [1] The chart was compiled on Wednesdays and published every Monday by TurnTable magazine . [1] It would later expand its data sources in March 2022 to include Apple Music, Deezer, and Spotify, and would increase from 50 to 100 positions. [2]

During 2020, five singles reached number one on the newly launched TurnTable Top 50 chart. Three of the five were collaborations, with six acts topping the chart as lead or featured artists. Wizkid's "Ginger" featuring Burna Boy opened the chart at number one. Davido achieved three different number-one songs during the chart's first nine weeks with "Fem", "Holy Ground" featuring Nicki Minaj, and "The Best" featuring Mayorkun. He became the first artist to replace himself at number one when "Holy Ground" succeeded "Fem" at the top, and the first artist to occupy the top four positions simultaneously on the chart dated 19 November 2020.

Omah Lay's "Godly" was the longest-running number-one song of 2020, spending five consecutive weeks at the summit from early December through the end of the year. The song would continue its chart dominance into 2021, ultimately spending eleven weeks at number one. Nicki Minaj became the first international artist to reach number one on the chart with "Holy Ground".
