YouTube Reveals Nigeria’s Most-Watched Music Videos of 2025

YouTube has officially released its list of the most-watched and most influential music videos in Nigeria for 2025 and the results highlight a year shaped by gospel revival, Afrobeats powerhouses, and a new generation of creative voices.

The ranking captures the diversity of Nigeria’s vibrant music culture, featuring everything from spiritually uplifting visuals to energetic Afrobeats hits that dominated the streets and airwaves.
