No doubt 2017
has been a good year for the Nigerian music industry as the year has been filled with hits
after hits and with that the Absolute
Hearts Music Review team has decided to do a compilation of the 10 hottest
songs for the year 2017.
READ: #AHAlbumReview: Top 10 music albums released by Nigerian artistes in 2017Note: all the songs here are songs released from January to October 2017
1. Reminisce - Ponmile: Many have argued that this is
probably the best conscious song of the year but what we all have agreed on is
that this is definitely a fire jam for Reminisce.
The way this song took over was very much amazing and when the video dropped there
was no stopping this song from becoming one of the hottest songs.
2. Qdot - Apala: This is
another song that became an instant national anthem immediately it dropped and
till this very moment the vibes of this song is still hot. Qdot really got the street and the club dancing to this lovely Apala vibes and of course making the chache slang spread more.
3. Niniola - Maradona:
This is an example of slow and steady wins the race, it took this song a while
to sink in but immediately it did, the Maradona virus began to spread
everywhere. By the way Niniola has dropped
her debut album This Is Me and you can check out the review here.
4.
Davido - If: In my own honest opinion this has to be song of
the year, the way this song took over was amazing. From the street to the clubs
even over the shore, this song has a cosmic effect all over. To top it all the
King of R&B R.Kelly had to do a
remix of the song, to be honesty nobody saw this coming even Davido himself
didn’t expect it but I guess the magnitude of the song spoke for itself.
Credits has to go to Tekno also for
the great production on this song.
5. Falz ft. Ycee – Something Light: One
of the ways to know that a song is a hit is if there is a line of that song
that the street adopts into a slang and of course Something Light is a slang
people are now using. The Sess (The Problm Kid.) produced track really
hit the industry hard as people are still very much bumping to the song.
6. Small Doctor - Penalty: No offense
but every sane person completely goes insane once this song comes on like an air
bound disease, the way this song was and still spreading is amazing. No doubt
this is one of the best street songs of the year.
7. Olamide - Wo!!: I’m still waiting for that year that Olamide won’t have that hit song that will
turn the whole country upside down, from the moment this song dropped the music
industry changed as it spread like wide fire and still spreading. Produced
by Young John (The Wicked Producer) Wo is officially one of the hottest street song of
2017. You can check out Olamide Lagos Na Wa album review here
8. Davido - Fall: This might be
hard to believe but if we are being honest, 2017 belongs to Davido, the quality
of songs he released this year has been top quality and winning and 2 awards
at the recently done MTV Europe Award
proves that. Reuniting with Kiddominant
for the production of this one, Fall didn’t waste time in taking
over and till date the jam is still going strong.
9. Ycee ft. Maleek Berry - Juice: From
the moment this song dropped and even till now the fever of this song is still
spreading. The Maleek Berry produced
song really gave Ycee a good 2017
and also helped strengthen Maleek Berry's position in this industry. To show
much impact the song had, Ycee went on to win the best African Hop Hip award at the AFRIMA 2017.
10. Wizkid - Daddy Yo:
This song came at the right time, the whole country has been given a feel of
the new Wizkid sound but many were
still itching for some of those old sounds but Wizkid did even better with this
song as he combined his new sound with his old vibes and gave us Daddy
Yo, a song that was an instant hit the moment it dropped. You can also check out our review of Wizkid's Sounds From The Other Side album here.
Worth mentioning: Destiny Boy - Juice (Cover): Yes this boy is really bursting my
brain with this his Fuji cover, we might just have another Tcode or LKT in the making. Credit has to be given to Destiny Boy, since I heard this song I haven’t been able to sing
the normal version, there is something about this Fuji version that I like. This
is our own little way of encouraging the young lad, keep it up.
So there you have it folks our very
compilation of the hottest song for the year 2017, we are very sure some of you
might not agree to the list so free feel to drop any song(s) we missed out in the comment section.
