No Gospel Music Found In MUSIGA’s Top 20 Songs For 2017
The Musician’s Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has released the list of the top 20 most played songs on Radio in 2017.
Apparently, there was no Gospel music found on the list.
However, Ebony topped the list with her song, ‘Sponsor’, followed by Wutah’s ‘Bronya’, with Kidi’s ‘Odo’ at the third position.
Some songs from MzVee, Magnom, Patapaa, Kuami Eugene, Shatta Wale all made it.
The Top 20 Air-Play Chart 2017 powered by Qisimah Insights was announced at a press soiree held in Accra on 12th January 2018 at the BBNZ.
According to the President of the Union, Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour, the list is based on data collated by the Union throughout the whole of last year. According to him, the initiative is part of efforts to make the Ghana music industry more data driven and empirical, so as to make data easily accessible to people who need more information about Ghana Music industry.
“Data in the industry is missing. When KPMG did the comprehensive study it was very clear that it was very difficult finding data. Henceforth, MUSIGA has decided that every year we will compile the top 20 songs for the year – both gospel and secular,” he said.
He further explained that gospel music did not make it to the Top 20 songs, hence the decision to conduct a separate survey for the gospel music.
