Superstar Congolese music exponent Awilo Longomba immortalised his lyrics across Africa and beyond in the late 90s and early 2000s as Makossa and Soukouss music took Nigeria by storm. Following a long break from Nigerian music charts stretching back over a decade, he finally makes a comeback on this week’s MTV Base Official Naija Top Ten, coming in at number eight with Enemy Solo featuring P-Square.
On this week’s episode of the countdown, hosted by rising star Endia, three songs make their debut as Sean Tizzle’s Bottles, DJ Xclusive’s Tonight and M.I’s Monkey all drop off the chart.
In the course of the show, Endia, who also performs a ragga freestyle, announces a giveaway of the pair of glasses he wore in the video of his breakout 2012 hit 48. These glasses, he reveals, are very close to his heart but his fans are closer.
Elsewhere on the chart, last week’s top four remain unchanged as Patoranking’s Daniella Whine, Mavins’ Looku Looku, Sheyi Shay’s Jangilova and Phyno’s Oringo hold down number one to four in that order. Shuperu Remix by Orezi featuring Davido is the week’s highest debut track at number five, while If I Fall by Praiz debuts at number ten.
Gbagam by Timaya featuring Phyno and Deettii drops down two spots to number 9, while Cynthia Morgan’s Come And Do rises three spots to number seven.
