The Top Earning Nigerian Musicians Of 2016.
The year 2016 is coming to an end and it’s an amazing time to take a look at what happened within the course of the year.
It’s been a good year generally for music from Ojuelegba remix with Drake and Skepta to One Dance with Wizkid to other Nigerian musicians who are pushing Africa to the world with their local collaborations and international collaborations.
Currently, digital music downloads and streaming in Nigeria have become the most favourable source of revenue for local musicians. According to Sam Onyemelukwe, Managing Director of Trace EMC limited, these entertainers earn between $US15 million and $US20 million monthly, which amounts to between $US180 and $US240 million annually.
Seems like we’re going to be doing music in 2017.
Anyway, here are the top earning Nigerian musicians for the year 2016:
1. Tekno
2. Olamide
3. Wizkid
4. Davido
