About BaseNaija

Built for anyone who wants a clearer picture of streaming earnings.

BaseNaija covers Nigerian and African music, artists and the numbers behind the industry. From artist earnings across streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Audiomack, Apple Music and Boomplay to music related data and insights, we're here to help you better understand the industry using information we can see.

Why We Built This

Conversations about an artist’s success are often driven by chart positions and follower counts, numbers that reveal little about actual earnings or the bigger picture. We created this platform to make music data easier to understand while providing valuable insights into the Nigerian and African music industries.

How It Works

Every platform listed on an artist or album page is labeled Measured or Modeled. Measured figures come from actual stream or view counts, while modeled figures are estimates derived from data on measured platforms.

A Living Project

BaseNaija continues to grow as we expand the artists, data and music related information we cover. Rates and artists we track are updated periodically.

If you spot something that looks off, have a suggestion or know an artist you would like to see added, reach out. We read everything that comes in.
