Nigerians’ songs dominate world digital sales on Billboard
Nigerian musicians are currently sitting pretty at the zenith of digital music sales platform Billboard, further cementing the African most populous nation’s bonafides as the entertainment supremo.
In this week’s top five on the world digital song sales category, released by Billboard charts on Twitter, Nigerian music artists were listed number one to four.
Popular ‘detty December’ anthem “you wanna bam ba?” by Goya Menor, is on the apogee followed by CKay’s Love Nwantiti. Wizkid’s Essence ft Tems and Justin Bieber is number three while Fireboy’s Peru ft Ed Sheeran was ranked fourth.
