YouTube is one of the primary ways people outside the shores of Nigeria connect to Nigerian music videos.
It is also an indication of how big a song is accepted or known internationally. As we come to the end of the year, we will examine the Top 10 most viewed Nigerian Music videos on YouTube.
Three (3) crooners, Burna Boy, Davido and Ckay, dominate the list with two songs each.
The list also features gospel music by Sinach. Based on the total accumulation of views for a particular song from all channels with copyrights, Ckay’s Love Nwantiti will be Number 1 with about a billion views but we base this assessment on one video (track) alone.
These Nigerian songs are currently in the top 10 list of all time as of 31st of December 2021.
