For the 5th consecutive week, Ghanaian Asakaa drill rapper Black Sherif remains at the top of the Turntable Top 50 charts, with “Kwaku The Traveller” sitting at number 1. The record which tallied 4 million equivalent streams (No. 1 on streaming) and  44.2 million in radio reach (No. 2 on radio), has now become the longest No. 1 single by a non-Nigerian artist surpassing the 4-week peak of Gyakie and Omah Lay’s “Forever (Remix)”, and also equals the 5-week reign of Ladipoe & BNXN Fka Buju’s “Feeling” as the longest Hip-Hop/Rap No. 1.

Fireboy DML’s “Playboy” holds at its No. 2 peak for a second week in a row, while uNder alum Asake moves up one spot with the Burna Boy-assisted “Sungba (Remix)”, which takes over from Rema’s “Calm Down” now at No. 4 this week. Pheelz & BNXN’s “Finesse” is at No. 5 for another week, rounding off the top 5 spot for this week. BNXN also holds down the 6th spot this week with “Kilometer Remix”, featuring Zinoleesky.

To round out the top 10 this week, Young Jonn’s “Dada (Remix)” with Davido enters the top 10 this week as it ascends 13-7, making Young Jonn the first artist-producer in the Top Ten. Holding down the No. 8 spot this week is Asake’s “Omo Ope” with Olamide which peaked at No. 1 for one week, while Skiibii & Davido’s “Baddest Boy (Remix)” falls from No. 7-9 after topping the chart for five weeks. Rounding up the Top 10 this week is Kizz Daniel’s “Oshe” with The Cavemen which drops to No. 10 after peaking at No.9 last week.

Elsewhere in the charts, Melvitto & Wande Coal’s “Gentility” rises to a new high of No. 11 – while Camidoh’s “Sugarcane (Remix)” with Mayorkun, Darkoo & King Promise makes its debut on the charts at No. 16.
