Peruzzi Stays On Top Of Nigeria Radio Chart

Peruzzi is still the song on every dial. His new hit 'Inferno' has stayed at number one on TheCable Lifestyle radio picks for a second week.

This is based on TheCable Lifestyle TCL Radio Picks for the past week - published Nov 8, 2026. The chart tracks the songs with the most airplay on radio across Nigeria.

The top songs in the new chart

TCL lists top 10 most played songs that week:

1. Peruzzi – Inferno (ft Zlatan & Shoday) – No.1
2. Seyi Vibez – Back 2 U
3. Blaqbonez & Asake – Ikebe 3000
4. BNXN – If You Like
5. Fola – Miss U (Nriri)
6. Davido – B4 B4 (ft Mayorkun & Fola)
7. Asake – Gratitude
8. Rema – Oh No
9. And two more rotations on TCL's list - tracks like Seyi Vibez GTA and others that keep swapping in.

Last week 'Inferno' debuted straight at No.1, beating Seyi Vibez and Asake. This week it retained No.1, which is harder.

What staying No.1 says about the song's buzz

Staying No.1 on radio is different from streaming. Streaming is fans clicking. Radio is DJs, stations, drivers, shops, offices all hearing it daily.

'Inferno' came out Oct 29, 2026. Peruzzi, Zlatan, Shoday. Produced by Sensei, Irock Classic, Fresh VDM. In just 24 hours it did 499,225 streams on Spotify Nigeria - No.1 debut - plus about 775,000 globally first day. Then it hit No.1 on Apple Music Nigeria Most Played chart Oct 30 and No.1 on Shazam Nigeria. Now it's No.1 on TikTok Nigeria as of Nov 8.

Why it stuck? First, it is a reunion - Peruzzi and Zlatan last did 'Bayi Bayi' in 2019, so fans waited 7 years. Second, Zlatan's verse has one bar that everyone is quoting on TikTok. Third, it is short - 2 minutes 31 seconds - perfect for radio repeat.

When a song holds radio No.1 for two weeks, it means stations outside Lagos are also playing it - Ibadan, PH, Abuja. That is how a song moves from street to nationwide anthem. Peruzzi has now topped both streaming and radio in same week - that is why it is called a consensus hit, not just a spike.

One quick line on other artists close behind

Asake is the other name to watch. His 'Gratitude' is in its 26th week on charts and still Top 10 on radio. On TurnTable Top 100, it just rebounded from 7 to 3, with 25 weeks in Top 10 - joint second longest ever, only behind Fireboy's 'Peru' at 30 weeks. On Cool FM chart Nov 2, Gratitude moved up to No.5.

So you have Peruzzi leading the new wave, and Asake proving longevity. Behind them, Seyi Vibez 'Back 2 U' at No.2, Blaqbonez & Asake 'Ikebe 3000' at No.3, and Fola 'Miss U' still strong.

If you have not heard 'Inferno' on your radio yet, you will this week.
