Top 10 Nigerian hits of 2012



10. Love me   – Tiwa Savage
The song was released late in 2011 and it was Tiwa’s second hit single after kele kele love fortunate to spill into 2012. It further heralded the power in Tiwa’s voice with that powerful hook and smashing chorus. Ladies particularly loved this song because it told them all they wanted to hear about love; real or unreal. Tiwa stormed concerts with it and scored high on weekly charts, that’s why it’s on our top ten.
9. Catch cold  -   Flavour ft Tiwa Savage
It was one of the greatest collaborations of the year; winning Channel O’s Most Gifted R&B video of the year award. What do you expect when two extremely talented artists wield forces together? This magical number is pushed even harder by it’s music video, shot in high definition with that famous kiss that stole display pictures on phones for weeks. Flavour in this track made falling in love look so easy. The song raged airwaves months; no one could get enough of it. It seats pretty at our number nine position.
8. Pakurumo – Wizkid
If you wanted to boogie on down in yoruba then this was the track to leap on to. The 22 year old  got hearts racing in this fast paced number; a party favourite never far from Disk Jockeys. A smoking hot auto-tuned track from his Super Star album with solid beats and a delightful video that quickly got anyone laughing and dancing.

7. Beautiful Onyinye – P Square ft Rick Ross
This big budget song is indeed beautiful as P Square spares no expense to ooze class and style. Collaborating with US recording rap artist Rick Ross, they go to great lengths to push the track to world class standards with a steady beat, powerful hook and great video. The song is strategic as it celebrates love and parenthood.
6. Ara  -  Brymo
This hit single made budding artist Brymo so proud. Ara, a yoruba song produced by KluMonsta won the Recording of the Year at the 2012 Headies awards. Ara meaning wonders shot to top of charts barely days after it was released. With a distinctive husky voice, Brymo broke cultural barriers as fans who barely understood a word in yoruba had the entire song by heart.
