Top 20 Social Media Most Relevant Artistes In Ghana
The internet continues to revolutionize just about everything we do—including within the music industry. Social media platforms are the new way for artists to develop and connect with their fanbases. Over the years, we have seen artists utilize platforms like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook to generate growth in their careers. Social media continues to give musicians the opportunities they previously could only have through record companies.
In Ghana the story is not different, we have had top acts abandon main stream media to start promotions online and yield positive results. So important has social media become that it is impossible to think of succeeding at music business today without it. Clout, control, style, brand, top of mind awareness, engagements, likes and followership speaks to one’s relevance on social media.

The numbers below are the approximate Numbers gathered by these musicians as at 31st October 2021.This forms part of 50 Best (a chronological index of Top Artistes in Ghana, yet to be released).
Ratings and statistics are a vital measuring tool in every sphere of life. They are even more important and relevant to a developing industry like that of Ghana music. Such ratings are vital for much needed standardization and serves as a base for proper and scientific assessment of individual artistes and the industry as a whole.
