Davido helps YG Marley get his first number one song in Nigeria

Davido’s latest single, “Awuke,” has topped the charts in the classic style of a hitmaker. This is the start of a new era for the award-winning artist.

The song “Awuke,” which features Jamaican star YG Marley, came out on October 31, 2024. It was Davido’s first official release of 2024 after a number of guest spots.

‘Awuke’ made its debut on the TurnTable Top 100, Nigeria’s only music chart that includes data from TV, radio, and streaming services, during the chart week of November 1–7, 2024.

With its number one hit, “Awuke” is YG Marley’s first number one record in Nigeria. He also joins Nicki Minaj, Mayorkun, Teni, Skiibii, BoyPee, Hyce, and Brown Joel as the eighth artist to get their first No. 1 song in Nigeria with help from Davido.Only three songs have ever reached No. 1 without being on one of the big streaming services. “Awuke” is the third one. This was done before by Gyakie and Omah Lay’s version of “Forever,” and it was done again recently by Wizkid’s “Piece of My Heart” with Brent Faiyaz.
