Burna Boy is an embodiment of talent, you can hate but that won’t deny him hits!
Just a year after releasing a 9/10 album African Giant, Burna boy set to take the world by storm once again with Twice As Tall.
His fifth studio album which was released on August 14, 2020, by Spaceship Entertainment, Atlantic Records and Warner Music. You cannot fail to mention Diddy when mentioning TAT, coz Diddy did a whole lot in this project, kudos to him!
With genres of Afrobeats, dancehall, pop and hip hop the album was set to take over! Which it did.
TAT became the most streamed Nigerian album on Spotify 2020.
With over 64 million streams to its credit.
3. Carpe Diem (Olamide Baddo)

Released on the October 8, 2020. This album is the most slept on, well End Sars having much to do with it đŸ„Ž. Regardless it’s still everyone’s favorite with majority putting it as their best album.
Carpe Diem is Baddo’s 11th Album and his first album under Empire Distribution, an American label. With features from featuring Fireboy DML, Bad Boy Timz, Omah Lay, Phyno, Peruzzi and Bella Shmurda and production credits to Young John Pheelz, ID Cabasa, P Prime, VStix.
The album is đŸ”„. With many songs taking over the streets already. Songs like Loading featuring Badboy Timz, already a street banger.
4. A Better Time (Davido)

This album was released on the 13th of November, 2020 with features from Nicki Minaj, NAS, Lil baby, Young Thug, Chris Brown, Mayorkun, Mugeez, Sho Madjozi, Bella Shmurda and CKAY.
Leading single FEM was released on September 10, 2020.
Immediately it became a Nigerian hit. This set the tone for the album with hits innit too, songs like Holy Ground, Jowo and The Best. I’ll say the most slept on song on this project is ‘I Got A Friend’ I kinda like the song đŸ”„.
5. Get Layd (Omah lay)

With genres of Afropop and R&B, this project too over everywhere in Nigeria. I don’t know how he did his promotion coz Omah lay was upcoming before this project so how it took over everywhere proves that this project is one of the best this year.
Coz a lot of us didn’t know him before this project. Speaks volumes! All the songs on the project are hits from Damn to Ye Ye Ye. Omah lay is here to stay considering the fact this project is an EP and not an album but is in this category. Same way a cub can be a lionđŸ§đŸ»â€â™‚ïž
All Nigerian albums this year are great, pushing afrobeat far and wide that’s good for the Industry, but the best remains the best đŸ§đŸ»â€â™‚ïž.
