Presented by The GrillHype in collaboration with RADARCharts by REM, Nothing Bad Happens On A Friday, Abuja Gist, Music Untamed & Hot New Afro – Charts Forum
THE CAPITAL’S SOUND IS GETTING LOUDER
Abuja’s music circuit has become a living frequency — a blend of grit, luxury, humor, and ambition vibrating through clubs, street corners, and streaming platforms. This week’s Top100 Abuja Charts captures that energy perfectly: two major Odumodublvck records lead the pack while emerging talents like FirstKlaz, SoundboiBme, and Nunu Eluma redefine the soundscape from the ground up.
The collaboration between The GrillHype, RADARCharts by REM, and Abuja’s leading cultural platforms signals a new era of data-driven music journalism. Together, they’re not just ranking songs — they’re documenting a city’s rhythm.
#1 — “BIG TIME” (feat. Wizkid) by ODUMODUBLVCK & Wizkid
When street rap meets silky Afrobeats precision, sparks fly. BIG TIME stands tall for its confident swagger, powered by ODUMODUBLVCK’s unflinching delivery and Wizkid’s effortless global cool. The record topped both Apple Music Nigeria and Audiomack Abuja charts, confirming that Odumodu’s signature rawness can thrive in polished spaces.
Critics have hailed it as “the sound of Abuja confidence” — a city that’s tired of playing catch-up and ready to lead.
#2 — “Lili” by FirstKlaz & Iliya Entertainment Music
If BIG TIME is a roar, Lili is a whisper that travels far. FirstKlaz’s heartfelt delivery sits on a smooth Afro-fusion groove, balancing melancholy with melody. The track has gained momentum through social media storytelling — short videos and user-generated covers spreading its message of resilience and soft strength.
It’s a defining moment for Iliya Entertainment, signaling a north-meets-capital crossover in the mainstream scene.
#3 — “Howfar” by SoundboiBme, OBA DDJ45
Raw. Honest. Relatable. Howfar speaks the language of every Abuja hustler. SoundboiBme and OBA DDJ45 blend street cadence with digital finesse, creating a track that feels both gritty and futuristic. The pair’s chemistry is magnetic — echoing the underground’s growing power in shaping Abuja’s pop future.
#4 — “GROOVING” (feat. Davido & Seun Kuti) by ODUMODUBLVCK, Davido & Seun Kuti
The capital’s anthem of collaboration. Three generations of Nigerian sound — Seun Kuti’s brass legacy, Davido’s hitmaking instinct, and Odumodu’s street fire — combine into a pulsating hybrid that’s both nostalgic and new. It’s political, cultural, and proudly chaotic.
#5 — “100 Meters” by Shagba
Fast-paced and motivational, 100 Meters sprints through motivational rap verses and catchy hooks. Shagba’s breakout track is finding its footing on TikTok with fitness and hustle-themed edits.
#6 — “RUFF” by Geezyshore
Port Harcourt grit meets Abuja confidence. RUFF is unapologetically street, fusing patois, pidgin, and mid-tempo rhythm. It’s an anthem for those who see survival as a sport.
#7 — “No Chicken Na Kpomo” by Sativa Boy
Sativa Boy brings humor to highlife bounce. No Chicken Na Kpomo proves that virality doesn’t need a label deal — just attitude and relatability. DJs across the capital are spinning it for its pure comic relief energy.
#8 — “Just You and I” by Nunu Eluma
Soft, heartfelt, and mature. Nunu Eluma’s presence at #8 reflects the increasing visibility of Abuja’s female voices. Just You and I is a radio-ready ballad, smooth and cinematic — love songs still have a place in the chaos.
#9 — “Mother Confessor” by Lysense Slim
Dark, poetic, and unapologetically experimental. Lysense Slim’s Mother Confessor weaves spiritual imagery and Afro-trap ambience. It’s less a song and more a confession booth in stereo — proving Abuja’s underground scene has artistic depth beyond the party.
#10 — “Alaye” by Boylikevilla
Alaye closes the week’s Top 10 with the hunger of youth energy. Boylikevilla embodies the “no label, no limit” generation — young, raw, and buzzing off grassroots streams. Clubs in Wuse and Gwarinpa are already chanting along.
