Spotify Wrapped 2021, launched today (1 December), informs
individual users about their listening habits as well as the overall trends
that dominated the streaming platform over the last 12 months.
The audio streaming and media services provider, has
disclosed the top 10 states in Nigeria where music listening was highest
between July to September 2021.
It said the top 10 states include Lagos-Lagos, Niger-Suleja,
FCT-Abuja, Rivers- Port Harcourt, Edo-Benin City, Enugu-Enugu, Anambra-Onitsha,
Kano-Kano, Oyo-Ibadan and Imo-Owerri.
Michelle Atagana, Spotify’s head of communications and
public relations, Sub-Saharan Africa, made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday.
“There is no doubt that Nigeria is a country that loves
music, whether it’s a local or international sound, Nigerians will always find
a way to vibe to it once it catches on.
“In celebration of Nigeria Month, Spotify shares data on the
top 10 music cities in Nigeria, along with other interesting insights.
Atagana said that as a genre, Afrobeat had come to be
recognised as a dominant sound for Nigerian artists as South Africa’s Amapiano
genre was also gaining momentum in Nigeria.
According to her, the rave of the moment songs like Falz’s
Squander, Davido’s High or Burna Boy’s Yaba Buluku adopt the hybrid of deep
house jazz and lounge music associated with Amapiano.
She noted that Lagos State, the entertainment capital of
Nigeria, was living up to its title as Spotify revealed that it topped other
states, leading music listenership between the months of July to September
2021.
She said, “Here is the full list of the top ten states in
Nigeria where music listening was highest under the period of review according
to Spotify.
“1st-Lagos-Lagos; 2nd-Niger-Suleja; 3rd-FCT-Abuja;
4th-Rivers- Port Harcourt; 5th-Edo-Benin City, 6th-Enugu-Enugu;
7th-Anambra-Onitsha; 8th-Kano-Kano; 9th- Oyo-Ibadan and 10th-Imo-Owerri.
“Top cities in Nigeria by music listening does not include
podcast listening”.
Atagana said that interestingly, the top three streaming
states seemed to have varying music tastes, with the top three songs in each
state differing:
“Lagos-Lagos- Gbese by Positivv, Yung Felix Understand by
Omah Lay, Peru by Fireboy DML.
“Suleja-Niger State- Understand by Omah Lay, Feeling by
Buju, LADIPOE, Peru by Fireboy DML.

“ Other data shows that some of the more popular music
artists in Nigeria include: Wizkid, Omah Lay, Fireboy DML, Tems and Rema
“It is clear that Nigerians are tangibly showing the love
for their nation, with local artists leading the charge in listening trends,”
she said.
