NAIRAFAME LIST 2019: Here Are The Top 10 Nigerian Albums Of 2019.

Albums require incredible effort, vision and thought to craft. Most people cannot craft albums, they make songs and put them on an album. The few ones who can craft albums get accolades and critical acclaim.

2019 has been an incredible year in Nigerian music. Albums have become a cliche and ‘unimportant’ part of artistry in Nigerian music. Davido, one of Nigeria’s flagship acts only released his second album in 10 years. Yet, he’s been one of the best Nigerian artists of the decade.

Albums are still the prime platforms to showcase musicianship and artistry. Whether one likes it or not, albums are also an important part of an artist’s career. They require incredible effort, vision and thought to craft. Most artists cannot craft albums, they make songs and put them on an album.

The few ones who can craft albums get accolades and critical acclaim. In 2019, Nigerian music has seen a ridiculous amount of great albums (including EPs). To pick just 10 was hard work, but we had to pick the best.

The albums picked are those released between DECEMBER 1, 2018 and DECEMBER 23, 2019. Criteria includes and is limited to; Critical acclaim, reception, impact (if any) and commercial success (added advantage).
