Top Selling Naija Artistes + Naija Entertainment News

Top Selling Naija Artises...according to Encomium Mag

P-Square. The fact that they are the highest selling hip hop acts at the moment is a fact. Less than seven days after they released their album, Game Over, they have sold over a million copies.

Olu Maintain
He actually struggled for two years before he could make a hit. The Audio of his CD sold out.

Faze
A lot of people didn't think he could come this far. But his Sophomore album, Independent, with the hit Kolomental has been a huge success.

Timaya
He is actually an up coming artiste but his album has been recording remarkable sales.

2face and D banj
Both of them do not have new albums but they still remain at the top. They're both getting ready to begin work on their collabo album which lots of people believe will be a commercial hit.

Rave of the moment, Mr Olu Maintain has given up his dream of joining the movie industry. Before he hit it big this year in his music, Olu was said to be collecting scripts from directors and film makers...he's gladly returned the scripts.


Gospel singer, Kenny Saint Brown, has been honoured for her contribution to the development of gospel music in Nigeria. She was honored at the Focused Women Award (FOWEM) held in Lagos on November, 28th, 2007.
Congrats to her!

Amerie, Ying Yang Twins, Lil Wayne and Wayne Wonder will be in the country to perform in a concert at This day events centre on the 15th of December 2007. Look out for that!

Abundantly gifted comedian, Julius Agwu, will on Sunday December 16th 2007, present his very popular 'Crack ya ribs' at the Muson Centre. Look out for that.

The real gossip sha is his rumoured engagement and wedding plans. They say he is planning to walk down the aisle with Miss Ibiere Maclayton, a 25yr old graduate of Petrochemical Engineering at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. They say the date for the wedding is April 2008 in Port Harcourt. They say the lovers have already had a traditional marriage rites. The wife to be in presently in the UK for her master's degree programme in Oil and Gas engineering.
Congrats to Julius!

Our local gossip mags say singer Faze is sorta in trouble with some SA models. They say he's owing them for some videos they shot for him and didn't get complete payment. Hmmm...I'm sure he'll settle them when he can.

Few days ago, showbiz couple, Tunde and Wunmi Obe shot the video of the song tribute to 2J, dedicated to late Jaiye Aboderin. Out of the three rappers featured Modenine, Ruggedman and Freestyle, it was only Freestyle that failed to come for the video shoot. Nobody knows why he didn't show up. The Obes are pissed!

US based Nigerian born singer, Seyi Sodimu, recently recorded a collabo with sensational singer, Wayne Wonder. The single is titled Sophisticated lady and has been enjoying tremendous airplay.

Dbanj has signed a multi million naira partnership deal with Virgin Colours soft drink. The deal will include sponsorship of his 2008 projects and his official MTV parties in 6 cities, which include Lagos, Ghana, SA, PH and London. Ain't some people so blessed? Good luck to the Koko Master.

I love the lyrics of this song...check it out...

Rascal Flatts My Wish
I hope that days come easy and moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walking' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

More than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more then you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more then you take.
Oh More then anything, Yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more then you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

Cheers!

As it is , she is going ahead with the wedding anyway?. Good luck to them......or should i say, her.
