Nigerian singer Chike celebrates a significant milestone as his chart-topping single, “Egwu,” featuring the late Mohbad, secures the No. 1 position on TurnTable Top 100. TurnTable Top 100 stands as Nigeria’s premier aggregate chart, amalgamating radio and TV airplay with streaming data from platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Audiomack, and Boomplay.
Chike’s fusion of R&B, Igbo indigenous music, and Afrobeats in his music has resonated with a wide audience. “Egwu” has gained substantial popularity since its December 2023 release, amassing over 400,000 TikTok uses and garnering 5.9 million streams on Spotify within a month.

This achievement marks Chike’s first No. 1 single on TurnTable Top 100, surpassing the success of his previous hit, the “Running” remix with Simi, which reached the top 5. For Mohbad, “Egwu” serves as his second No. 1 entry on the chart, following “Ask About Me,” which held the top spot for one week.

The success of “Egwu” adds to the posthumous acclaim of Mohbad’s music since his passing in September 2023. Tracks from his EPs, “Light” and “Blessed,” continue to surge on streaming platforms, showcasing the enduring impact of his musical legacy.
