Babayanks Manjago has kept “Bana Nan” in rotation on Spotify’s Top Hausa 100 playlist since its release on April 8.

The record is one of several the artist has placed on the playlist this year, a pattern that points to a working release schedule rather than a single breakout moment.

The Arewa scene has leaned harder into streaming through 2026, with newer acts building audiences on playlists rather than through the Kannywood soundtrack route that carried earlier generations.

That approach mirrors what Shekx has been doing, keeping a name in playlist rotation through frequency rather than betting on one record.

“Bana Nan” by Babayanks Manjago is available on all streaming platforms.
