The 10 Most Viewed Nigerian Music Videos On YouTube

SHARE

A song is nearly irrelevant if it has no music video to reinforce it in the minds of the audience, although it doesn't have to be the most viewed. Music videos give us a visual representation of whatever the artist talked about on his or her song.

Recently, artists usually take to their YouTube pages to post their music videos, promoting it and garnering multiple streams.

There are Nigerian artists who have successfully gathered more than 70 million views on just one music video and YouTube has become an integral part of the promotional strategies most artists employ.

We have decided to curate a list of Nigerian songs that have the highest views on YouTube including;

Davido - Fall (119M views)

The music video for this song sits comfortably atop the list of most viewed Nigerian music videos with more than 110 million views.

Yemi Alade - Johnny (102M views)


Before Davido’s Fall took over to become the most-watched Nigerian music video, Johnny was the leading music video.
