Picking ten best
songs that rocked any year is like searching for ten slightly longer
hays from evenly cut hays in a hay sack; long story short, this is not
an easy task. The Nigerian music scene is flooded with music that would
give your heart a good dance exercise but then, there are always artists
that submissively distinguish themselves with their songs from the
others.
Owing to this, I present to you the top 10 extended (i.e, 20) Naijapals/Nigerians hit songs that made 2013. Click here to view, »»Top TEN Hit Songs That Made 2012.««
10. Pullover - Kcee ft. Wizkid
Limpopo
master features StarBoy King , WizKid his new tune. Ever since his hit
single, Limpopo, Kcee (former of KC Presh) has not shown any signs of
slowing down at all. The year 2013, in some months after this release,
he dominated iTunes (Nigeria) as the most downloaded song. It’s full
speed ahead and this tune will do well to keep his name buzzing.
9. Caro - Starboy, Wizkid ft. LAX
Love
is such a beautiful story to tell and it was told exceptionally by
Wizkid and fast rising Starboy act LAX in this sizzling number. Caro
once again re-echeos Wizkid’s penning skills. It’s a stripping song
about the search for a mystery girl; completely gripping listeners when
it hit airwaves in August. Its a dance number that could get a DJ shot
if missed in raving clubs. A beautiful performance that not only showed
brilliance on the part of the acts but the transformation that happens
to a song when driven by a gripping story.
8. Aboki (Remix) - Ice Prince
This
magnetic song is a smoking hot auto-tuned track with solid beats. BET
Award crooner winner, Ice Prince the man makes it a mega remix of an
already certified hit song “Aboki” by featuring a selection of Africa’s
finest rappers including M.I, Khuli Chana from South Africa and Sarkodie
from Ghana. Nigerian superstar Wizkid also graces the track and guess
who else? Mercy Johnson!
7. My Rainbow Remix - 2face Idibia ft. Tpain
The
hit track Rainbow from 2face Idibia which now has a remix with American
super star, T-Pain, this makes it one of the best hit songs of the year
2013. 2face has been one of the biggest names in entertainment over the
past 10 years, and you knew something like this was bound to happen
sooner or later.
T-Pain does pretty well on the remix, and add his
own spice to the already lovable joint. From all perspectives, this has
further catapult the song to a mega hit status.
6. Ada Ada - Flavour
The
high life singer emerged ‘god-overall’ year 2013 in this classic piece
that has left him a world stage of swaying worshipers. Flavour knew this
song was going to be a hit and aptly prepared for it. The music video
shot in high definition by Clarence Peters rolled a true to life wedding
of a classic girl with ladies in waiting. Weddings nationwide now match
to this song with non-Ibo’s effortlessly singing along. Flavour proves
once again that talent runs in his veins and beats in his heart. The
song released in June sits pretty at our number one position and will
stay with us for a very long time to come.
5. First Of All Remix - Olamide ft. Dbanj
Truth
be told, Olamide has been putting in quality work since Young Erikina.
However, it appears that he started flooding the streets with music in
2012 even before he came with, First Of All. Thereafter, it becomes a
mind-blowing song when he remixed it with D'banj.
4. Eminado - Tiwa Savage ft. Don Jazzy
The
single came in May; sitting at number nine in the Mavin songstress 19
track album list Once upon a time, but not until the video directed by
extra-gifted filmed maker Clarence Peters trumped airwaves in November
did it sink down hot and hard in Naija’s musicdom. The song with it’s
powerful hook-line remained at the top of many music charts for weeks.
3. Limpopo - Kcee
This
single was Kcee’s magic wand for the year. It made him so magnetic,
mobile giant MTN came racing for him. He was irresistible in clubs, gals
fell in love over and over again. His wriggling dance movements became a
name; he just couldn’t stop. Limpopo came in March and ever since then,
the whole world sings and dances to Limpopo which includes the white
ladies "oyibo." This has laced him to multiple award nominations.
2. Skewelu - Davido
It
has grown to be another monster jam from HKN’s Boss, in fact it has
grown so big that it has 3 videos excluding the various Youtube dance
competition videos.
This slow and steady Skewelu is being classified
as a spiritual song to some people. Nevertheless, the powerful rhymes
and the signature dance steps of the song can never to be forgotten in
the minds of her fans; that includes, actors/actresses and governors
such as - Tonto Dikeh and Gov. Amaechi even the likes of some BBA The
Chase star ‘Beverly Osu’ dances to Davido’s ‘Skelewu’. Skelewu was
produced by Shizzi
1. Personally - Psquare
This
single unquestionably makes our song of the year. After the mind
numbing success of ‘Alingo’ that took 2012, P Square returned in June
with stark images of the late pop god Micheal Jackson. In the gripping
dance-drenched video, they stomped straight into the heart of fans;
keeping their beats spectacularly alive, P Square forever remains
‘Personally’ with their fans.
