on

Shazam today launched its new playlist Naija Risers on Apple Music, featuring the songs trending on Shazam in Nigeria right now — from the latest artists releases to the music featured in movies and TV shows.

Naija Risers compiles songs by Nigeria’s fast-emerging artists trending across the Shazam Charts. It offers a select mix of sounds that show what music aficionados have been actively discovering on Shazam, and reflect the energy and boundless spirit of Naija, from Afrobeats and Afro-Pop through to Alte and Hip-Hop.

The playlist includes the likes of breakthrough artist and Africa Rising alumni Omah Lay, Tems (currently No. 1 on Apple Music in Nigeria), Kiddominant’s latest single and recent Big Brother Naija winner Laycon.

“For some reason, I’m emotional about Shazam, I looove Shazam! As a new artist, my voice was unfamiliar, my name was unfamiliar… Shazam has been very instrumental to my career, and the first real data I had that let me know people were checking me out.” – Omah Lay

“Afrobeats is becoming a global sound and Shazam has been a key tool to the discovery of our sound all over the world.” – Kiddominant

The Shazam Naija Risers playlist is updated with new music each week and is exclusively available to stream on Apple Music at apple.co/NaijaRisers

Shazam is one of the world’s most popular and highly-rated music apps, and lets users identify songs simply by listening to the music playing around them. With pioneering innovation in music identification, Shazam helps people discover, interact with and share video or audio content across devices and mediums. Shazam has been downloaded over 1.5 billion times around the world, and counts over 25 million Shazams each day.

The Blackmob rapper currently boasts of the hottest song in Accra, Ghana and that’s a fact – according to Apple Music’s City Chart for Accra at least. Listen/stream ‘Boys Aye Wild’ here: https://gambomusic.ffm.to/gambo-boys-aye-wild

 

It turns out the denizens of Accra could simply not get enough of Gambo’s ‘Boys Aye Wild’ today and rightfully so. The fun song beat the odds and for the first time since its release ranked at #1 on the city’s Top 25 chart list for the day and iTunes. Also earning a spot on one of the streaming platform’s big listings for the region, Top Albums, was the artist’s “New Era” EP which stood at #8 to score Gambo yet another exciting feat.

Gambo outdid the competition and had listeners converging on his song by the bucketload. In regards to his big win today, the ‘Boys Aye Wild’ hitmaker shared: ‘’It was a great feeling to see my song sitting at #1. Seriously. Big ups to Accra for making my day and showing my song that much love. I’m at peace now knowing my brothers are taking the right steps to treat their women right. Ha-ha. Keep the plays coming though and don’t stop’’.

 

Introduced in early 2021 by the Cupertino-based tech giant, City Charts is an updated playlist meant to bring local artists to the forefront of the conversation around music discovery, one it achieves by reflecting the musical tastes of listeners in over 100 cities from around the world on a daily basis.
