It has been a great summer for Nigerian artists on Spotify, as the last three months shows that music lovers from all over the country chose to listen to songs by local artists during the season.

Fourth on the Top 10 list is WizKid’s “Essence” (feat.Justin Bieber & Tems), followed by “Soundgasm” by Rema, and “Understand” by Omah Lay.
