Other African acts that made the list include Benin’s, Angelique Kidjo; Tanzanian’s, Diamond Platnumz; South Africa’s, Busiswa Gqulu and Sho Madjozi and also Zambia’s, Mwila Musonda.
It is not surprising that Nigerian musicians have dominated the list. The volume and quality of content churned out from the West African nation is one to die for.
The likes of Burna Boy, Tiwa, Wizkid and co, have continued to break grounds. They have also caught the attention of various international acts.
Recall also that, Burna Boy has been nominated for a Grammy Award.
However, it remains shocking why DMW chief, Davido, did not make the list.
