See other songs that made the list.
1. "Blackout" by Wretch 32 feat. Shakka (United Kingdom)
A stripped-down beach house track smothered with beautiful reggae-influenced rapping. It's glorious.

2. "Biglang Liko" by Ron Henley feat. Pow Chavez (Philippines)
Released in January, the track (which translates to "Sudden Turn" has fresh synths ideal for summer road trips. The video, however, has a really sick ending.

3. "Azonto" by WizKid (Nigeria)
The title derives from a popular dance movement in West Africa, originating in Ghana. The dance involves traditional African moves like knee bending and hip swaying, combined with wild, complex hand movements that supposedly mimic everyday activities.

4. "This Love" by Shinhwa (South Korea)
The song talks about the fragility of true love, which goes along with the slow piano at the beginning and ending. It also features a lot of voguing in its choreography, a rarity in boy band territory.

5. "Invader Invader" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (Japan)
The eternal 12-year-old who brought you the masterpiece called "PonPonPon" releases her latest single, which is currently at #3 in Billboard's Japan Hot 100.

6. "This Is What It Feels Like" by Armin van Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie (Netherlands)
Bringing the beauty of trance music to the beach houses this season. The special appearance of Ron Jeremy in the video should not be missed.

7. "Big Banana" by Havana Brown feat. R3hab and Prophet (Australia)
Not-so-subtle lyrics aside, the synth hooks from this track is beach-party-worthy.

8. "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams (France)
Sure, the track features an American artist, but not including this French EDM duo in this list would be like not putting on sunscreen before heading to the beach

I thought people were saying Wizkid is a small boy singing small boys songs but see where he has taken Nigeria to. Abeg Wizzy, u 2 much!

Kudos to wizzy sha.

its a summer time when the weather is bright
you got women you got women on your mind

#singing -shaggy

Wiz Kid just collect food from that poor Ghanian boy hand....I hope he will pay him royalty for it

This is a 'Best of the rest' list

No A-listers on the list...

Only a mediocre person would celebrate inclusion in such a list-I'm sure Wizkid himself won't

You are kidding right?? Plagiary given recognition? Nigeria is full of jokers and worst colonialists. I keep saying, NCC (Nigerian Copyright Commission) is a joke. Their hypocrisy of fighting piracy is one of the most confused moves I have ever seen/heard. Fighting to protect pirated materials from being pirated...they are jokers. I wont be surprised if the Psquare garnished Azonto (Alingo) is recognised for creativity. Why is originality lacking among Nigeria's pseudo-artistes? Awww! they are pseudo...that's the word.

Let Nigerians continue to delude themselves that these guys got talent. Thank goodness I am never a fan to noise rubbish in the name of music

Paschal007: What kinda list is this? The gnamgnam style guy (hope i got the spelling right) didn't make it fa?

Kudos to wizzy sha.

Na you sing that one oo.

dnt even knw most of dose songs there.. xo why azonto no go com 3rd...

I just watched this music, and while i agree its a dance tune with nice beats, I must say its meaningless. Removing the vocals and just leaving the beats would suffice.

People like nonsense, just look at songs like Oliver Twist or gangnam style

R2bees: isi aki

what is isi aki?

Yeah. Jonathan for 2015
