TikTok has released its official list of the 2025 Songs of the Summer for Nigeria, and the results have taken many music fans by surprise. For the first time in years, heavyweights like Wizkid and Burna Boy did not make it into the top ten, proving that viral power now lies in the hands of a new generation of artists.
Leading the chart is BhadBoi OML’s Wasiu Ayinde, a song that blends Yoruba Fuji sounds with modern Afrobeats. Its catchy rhythm and danceable beat made it a favorite for TikTok trends, earning millions of video uses and solidifying its status as a true summer anthem. The second spot went to Ngishutheni by Goon Flavour, Master KG, and Eemoh — an Amapiano track that became the perfect soundtrack for creative dance videos and skits across Africa.
Davido was the only major Afrobeats star to make the list, landing in fourth place with his hit With You featuring Omah Lay. The track’s romantic melody and smooth flow made it a perfect pick for couples’ trends and lip-sync videos. Olamide’s 99 also appeared in the top five, showing that veteran artists still have what it takes to capture viral moments when the vibe is right.
The absence of Wizkid and Burna Boy sparked conversations among fans about how quickly the TikTok era is changing music culture. While both superstars remain global icons, younger artists are dominating the digital space with songs designed for short-form engagement.
TikTok’s latest list proves one thing — music success today isn’t just about streaming numbers or global awards; it’s about how well a song connects with everyday people online.
