Odumodublvck’s “Declan Rice” is Aiming for a Top Ten Debut on the Official Nigeria Top 100

“Declan Rice” is set to debut in the top ten of next week’s Official Nigeria Top 100, set to become the first song by a Nigerian Hip-Hop/Rap artiste to launch in that region since Ladipoe’s “Running” with Fireboy DML (chart week of October 22 – 28, 2021).
The Official Nigeria Top 100 blends all-genre Nigeria streaming and radio airplay data using a 7-day Friday – Thursday tracking period.  
According to projections from TMDA/Radiomonitor, “Decla Rice” (released under Native Records on Friday, March 24) could draw 40 million in radio reach and 1.5 million on-demand streams in its first full week of tracking.


If “Declan Rice” launches in the top ten, it would become first song by a Nigerian Hip-Hop/Rap artiste to start in that region since Ladipoe’s “Running” with Fireboy DML debuted at No. 5 during the chart week of October 22 – 28, 2021.
Black Sherif’s “Kwaku The Traveller” debuted at No. 1 on the weekly singles chart in 2022 – becoming the only Hip-Hop/Rap song to achieve the feat. Other Hip-Hop/Rap singles with a top ten debut by Nigerian rappers include “Need For Speed” by Olamide (No. 6 debut in 2021) and “Feeling” by Ladipoe (No. 5 debut in 2021).


Other rappers have had top ten debuts for singles that are not classified under Hip-Hop/Rap; “Back in Uni” by Blaqbonez & JAE5 is a recent example.
Next week’s Official Nigeria Top 100 will be revealed on Monday, April 3.
