Huda Mustafa’s latest single, “Material World,” has debuted at No. 2 on the Nigeria iTunes chart.
The song marks the third single from the Love Island USA star, following “Bad Girls” and “Rotation,” which are also listed among her 2026 releases.

“Material World” is available on streaming platforms.
Davido’s “Oriade” reportedly lost more than 1.34 million Spotify streams on Tuesday amid the platform’s latest removal of streams identified as artificial.
ChartsAfrica reported the figure on X, attributing the drop to Spotify’s monthly purge of fraudulent activity.
Spotify says it conducts regular cleaning to remove artificial streams from public figures. The platform defines artificial streams as plays that do not reflect genuine listening intent, including streams generated through automated processes, and says confirmed cases can result in public stream numbers being corrected.
“Oriadé,” Davido’s sixth studio album, was released on July 31, 2026. The 13-track project includes collaborations with artists including Black Sherif, Aya Nakamura, Leon Thomas, Mayorkun, FOLA and Llona.
Victony has made his debut on the US Billboard World Albums chart, with his sophomore album “STARLIFE” opening at No. 20.
The chart entry marks the Nigerian singer’s first appearance on the World Albums ranking, following the release of the 15-track album on August 21. “STARLIFE” was released through OUTLAWVILLE under exclusive global licence to Encore Recordings.
The album’s release came a week later than originally planned. Victony had initially announced August 14 as the release date for “STARLIFE”, the same day Ayra Starr was scheduled to release her third studio album, “Starrgirl”.
Following criticism from fans over the scheduling, the release was moved to August 21. “Starrgirl” ultimately arrived as planned on August 14, giving Ayra Starr a full week before “STARLIFE” entered the market.
Despite the delay, “STARLIFE” opened strongly in Nigeria, reaching No. 1 on the Apple Music Nigeria Albums chart following its release.
The project expands on the sound Victony established with his 2024 debut album “Stubborn”, moving between Afrobeats, R&B and other contemporary influences. The 15-track album features appearances from BNXN, Blaqbonez, YKB, Young Jonn, Babyboy AV and FOLA, among others.
The album’s creative direction also reflects a more relaxed side of Victony. In an interview published ahead of its release, he described the project as a reflection of freedom, authenticity and having fun with his music. The project itself grew considerably during its creation: what began as a planned four-track EP eventually developed into a full-length album after the recording process continued to expand.
With its No. 20 debut on the Billboard World Albums chart, “STARLIFE” gives Victony his first entry on the US chart and adds another international milestone to the album’s early run.
Dolly Parton’s music is seeing renewed interest in Nigeria following the country music icon’s death on August 25, with two of her classic songs appearing on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Top Songs chart for the first time in her career.
“Coat of Many Colors” debuted at No. 126 with 40,086 streams, while “Jolene” entered at No. 155 with 36,015 streams.
Parton also made her first appearance on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Top Artists chart, debuting at No. 42.
The chart appearances come after Parton died at 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Her death prompted an international outpouring of tributes and renewed attention to her catalogue, including songs that have remained influential across generations.
Released in 1971, “Coat of Many Colors” is one of Parton’s most personal songs, drawing from her childhood and her family’s financial struggles. “Jolene,” released in 1973, became one of her signature songs and has since been covered and reinterpreted by artists across different generations and genres.
Their appearance on the Nigerian chart highlights the renewed reach of Parton’s catalogue following her death, extending beyond the country music audience that made her a global star.
Tyla’s latest single “Chanel” has debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her third entry on the chart.

The South African artist is the fourth most successful Afrobeats artist on the Billboard Hot 100 after Burna Boy, Tems and Wizkid.
