Peruzzi’s ‘Inferno’ retains top spot on Nigeria radio chart

Peruzzi’s ‘Inferno’, featuring Zlatan and Shoday, has retained the No. 1 position on TheCable Lifestyle’s weekly Nigeria radio chart, extending its run at the top after debuting in the leading position the previous week.

According to the publication’s November 7 chart, the song received the highest radio airplay in Nigeria during the week under review. Its continued presence at the summit places the collaboration ahead of several other releases competing for attention on Nigerian radio.

Songs close behind ‘Inferno’

Seyi Vibez’s ‘Back 2 U’ occupies second place, while Blaqbonez and Asake’s ‘Ikebe 3000’ takes third. BNXN’s ‘If You Like’ follows at No. 4, with Fola’s ‘Miss U (Nriri)’ completing the top five.

The remaining positions feature Davido’s ‘B4 B4’, featuring Mayorkun and Fola, at No. 6; Asake’s ‘Gratitude’ at No. 7; Rema’s ‘Oh No’ at No. 8; Double Gee2x’s ‘Ore Agbako’ at No. 9; and Fola’s ‘Waf’ at No. 10.

Asake’s ‘Gratitude’ is also notable for its continued appearance on the chart, while Fola has two entries among the top 10, reflecting the range of artists receiving significant radio exposure.

Why ‘Inferno’ continues to attract attention

One possible factor behind the song’s performance is its combination of three artists with different musical approaches. Peruzzi brings his melodic Afrobeats delivery, Zlatan contributes his energetic street-pop style, while Shoday adds another vocal dimension.

The collaboration also reunites Peruzzi and Zlatan, who previously worked together on ‘Bayi Bayi’ in 2019. Their return as collaborators may have generated additional interest among listeners familiar with their earlier work.

The song’s performance extends beyond radio. It also occupied the top position on Nigeria’s Spotify and Apple Music charts around November 7, providing additional evidence of its reach across listening platforms.

What the chart says about listeners

‘Inferno’s’ performance suggests that collaborations combining different musical styles can attract considerable attention. Its presence across radio and streaming platforms also shows how listeners encounter music through different channels.

The wider chart, however, demonstrates that attention is not limited to one sound or artist. Established performers such as Davido, Rema and Asake appear alongside Seyi Vibez, BNXN, Fola and Double Gee2x.

Although radio and streaming rankings cannot represent every Nigerian listener’s preferences, ‘Inferno’s’ continued performance highlights its strong position in the current music conversation.
