DJ Maphorisa, Wizkid, Mavo and DJ Tunez are crossing another milestone as Money Constant hits 1 billion radio plays, with the collaboration now ranked as the most played song on Nigerian radio in 2026.
The song has crossed the one billion mark in radio plays, according to the latest industry figures released on Monday. It currently leads Wizkid and Asake’s Jogodo, which has recorded 995.7 million plays. Omah Lay’s Waist follows with 917.2 million.
The achievement gives Money Constant another major milestone after its strong performance on Nigerian streaming platforms.
Why Money Constant is Dominating Radio
The success of Money Constant is partly down to the unusual strength of its collaboration. DJ Maphorisa brings the South African Amapiano influence, while DJ Tunez and Wizkid connect the record to Nigeria’s Afrobeats audience. Mavo, one of the younger names on the record, adds another layer to the collaboration.
The song had already shown strong radio performance earlier in the year. TurnTable Charts reported that it had reached 697 million radio impressions in the first quarter while also recording 23.8 million streams. That early momentum has now turned into the biggest radio number of the year.
Radio Still Matters in Nigerian Music
The most played song on Nigerian radio 2026 ranking also reveals something important about how music success should be measured.
Streaming numbers often dominate discussions around modern music, but radio remains a powerful way for songs to reach people across Nigeria. A track that receives heavy airplay can become familiar to listeners who may not actively stream music on platforms such as Spotify or Apple Music.
The current ranking shows that radio and streaming can tell different stories. Money Constant leads the radio ranking, while other songs have performed better on international streaming platforms.
What Comes Next for Money Constant?
The bigger challenge for Wizkid’S Money Constant is now maintaining its momentum. With the song already at one billion radio plays, the next few months will show whether it can remain ahead of Jogodo and the other major Nigerian hits competing for radio attention.
Its success also strengthens Mavo’s growing profile. TurnTable Charts had already identified him as one of the emerging acts making a major impact on both streaming and radio charts in 2026.
For now, Money Constant has achieved something that goes beyond a viral moment. It has become the song Nigerian radio audiences have heard more than any other in 2026 so far.
