This hit single, Different Pattern by Seyi Vibez, is the most streamed song on Apple Music Nigeria in 2024.

Released in December 2023 as part of his NAHAMciaga EP, the song enjoyed a phenomenal run this year, resonating deeply with listeners across the country.

Omah Lay’s Holy Ghost closely follows, securing the number two position. Shallipopi’s collaboration with rapper Odumodublvck on Cast earned the third spot, reflecting the track’s widespread popularity.

Kizz Daniel’s chart-topping single, Twe Twe, ranked fourth, showcasing his consistent ability to produce hits. Seyi Vibez made another impressive entry with Cana, rounding out the top five.

This dual presence highlights Seyi’s influence and his music’s strong connection with Nigerian audiences.

The rest of the top 10 includes standout tracks like Wizkid’s IDK, featuring Zlatan, and Chike and Mohbad’s Egwu.

The Tshwala Bam remix, featuring Burna Boy, also made waves, with TitoM and Yuppe being the only non-Nigerian lead artists to break into the top 50.

Interestingly, 14 out of the top 20 songs were released in 2023, including Burna Boy’s Higher, Ayo Maff and Fireboy DML’s Dealer, Ruger and BNXN’s POE, and Young Jonn’s Bahamas.

This trend led some observers, such as music journalist Joey Akan, to comment on the relatively lacklustre performance of new releases in 2024.

Notably, no female artist made it into the top 20. Ayra Starr achieved the highest entry for a female act with her track Bad Vibes. The song features Seyi Vibez, and landed at number 24.

This absence highlights ongoing discussions about gender representation in the Nigerian music industry.
