Playdata Charts is a weekly airplay chart, measuring songs being played on radio stations in Nigeria,[1] and published on its website, with data gathered from its proprietary PlayData Broadcast Monitoring service.[2] The company was founded by Nigerian retired singer eLDee (born. Lanre Dabiri),[3] and it provides a weekly top 100 airplay chart (previously top 10 until 2017). Its first chart issue was released on 10 January 2016, and led by Adekunle Gold "Pick Up".[4] It serves as Nigeria's official radio music chart[5] from 10 January 2016, to 31 December 2017. It also publishes a yearly chart, titled 40 Most Played Songs in Nigeria (previously 100 until 2017).

History

In 2016, P-Square "Bank Alert", peaked at number 1, on the week of December 11, 2016, and returned to chart in the week of January 1, 2017.[6] Wizkid "Daddy Yo" peaked at number 1, on the week of Januray 29, 2017.[7] Runtown held the chart with "Mad Over You", spending 8 consecutive weeks on chart, from the week of February 5, 2017[8] to the week of March 5, 2017.[5][9] According to The Guardian author Beatrice Porbeni, Mad Over You was one of the most overplayed songs in 2017, and almost charted for ten weeks.[10]

The company became defunct in 2018, shortly after publishing its second edition of the Year-end chart for the year 2017, led by Davido "If". The chart was succeeded by TurnTable in 2020. During the lunch of TurnTable, for the week of November 9, 2020, The Native, made references to Playdata, saying "Hopefully, it doesn't go the way like Playdata".[11]
