10] CAPITAL HILL MUSIC
Founded by one the ace video director Clarence Peters, the record label didn’t bring out much hits this year but they did fairly well. The label is home for artists like Tha suspect, Chidinma, Illbliss and Ayoola. With no doubts the label belongs to the top ten in Nigeria this year.

8] X3M
The Extreme music label may not be as popular as others but it has the currently trending Nigerian star R&B singers signed as artists. The label is home for artists like PRAIZ,SIMI and not very popular SAMMY. The label really tried for their artists this year with production of many songs and music video. The label is gradually becoming Nigeria’s home of R&B.

The Honorable Kings of New-school record label owned by the OBO himself is can actually be said to have make some impacts in the industry this year. Even though we can only mention two active artists signed to the label which are B-RED and Davido himself. They both made hits this year. So they should definitely make this list.

This label actually used to be the no.1 in Nigeria few years back. But now at the no.6 is quite a drawback.
