Mavo just put his name in the same sentence as Asake, and this time it’s not about vibes or banter, it’s about numbers.
The “Face of the UG scene” who is very obviously not so UG anymore drops another banger. With “Find My Babe” officially claiming the top spot on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Songs Chart, Mavo now has six number one songs on the chart in 2026 alone. That run puts him level with Asake as the artist with the most chart-toppers in the country this year, a genuinely remarkable feat for someone who was still building buzz as an underground favorite not too long ago.
Here’s the full list of Mavo’s 2026 number ones so far:
- “Find My Babe”
- “BB Lifestyle”
- “Big Bum Bum”
- “Mofe”
- “Tumo Weto”
- “MONEY CONSTANT”
What stands out about this run is the range. Mavo hasn’t leaned on one sound or one formula to get here. “Tumo Weto” broke early in the year as something of a sleeper hit before climbing all the way to the summit. “Big Bum Bum” and “BB Lifestyle” carried his SSSoundGawd and Kidd Carder collaborations into the same rarified air. “Mofe” and “MONEY CONSTANT” kept the momentum rolling through the middle of the year. And now “Find My Babe” caps it off, riding a playful hook and Mavo’s now-signature conversational delivery to the very top.
That consistency is the real story here. Chart-toppers happen. Repeating them six times in a single year, across different collaborators and different sounds, is a different level of dominance. It puts Mavo in direct competition with a afrobeats behemoth like Asake, who has spent much of 2026 anchoring the chart with huge records like “Jogodo,” “Forgiveness,” and “Gratitude.”
For context, Mavo closed out 2025 already building serious chart credibility, largely off the strength of “Body (danz)” with Ckay, which spent multiple weeks at number one late in the year. He has essentially carried that momentum straight into 2026 without a single stumble, turning what looked like a breakout run into a sustained streak.
“Find My Babe” itself has been on an aggressive climb since its release. The single opened strong on Spotify Nigeria with well over 260,000 streams on day one, debuting inside the top two there before making its way up the Apple Music Nigeria chart and eventually taking the crown.
With six number ones already banked and the year still not done, the conversation around Mavo has shifted. He is no longer just one of the exciting new names in Afrobeats. He is, by the numbers, one of the most dominant chart forces in Nigerian music in 2026, standing shoulder to shoulder with an artist of Asake’s stature. The only question left is whether he can pull ahead before the year runs out.
