Top songs by video creation in Nigeria 

Chart-topping 'Lonely At The Top' (over 1.6M creations) from Asake, is our number-one Song of the Summer 2023 in Nigeria. The feel-good song had most creators lean towards the 'the aim is not to sweat' approach by making seemingly effortless yet catchy content pieces. This makes sense to the artist as he feels the song is the epitome of celebrating the self. "Creating 'Lonely At The Top' was a journey of self-expression and connection. Seeing over 1.6 million TikTok creations inspired by my music is surreal. This track is more than a song; it's a shared emotion that resonates with so many. Being Nigeria's number-one Song of the Summer 2023 is an honour,” said Asake.

We also have another banger which annihilated the game in the form of King Promise's Terminator. Sitting at an incredible 650K creations, the song garnered over 300 million views on TikTok. "I believe everyone everywhere is winning in their own way, as they go through their unique journeys. Terminator is a song that was inspired by my journey, my wins and my not-so-happy moments - it’s a song that is about self-happiness, hope and contentment," said King Promise."Now, as we begin to say hello to summer, we're revealing the most popular TikTok tracks and artists that have become Nigeria Songs of the Summer 2023," he added.
