2013 has been a great year for Nigerian music, and thus i bring you the top 13 Nigerian albums of 2013

I couldn’t believe the above title too. While we danced to all the seemingly random hits, we Nigerians had no idea that the consistent hit songs & chart-toppers which had thrilled us this year were off albums.

Yes! The year 2013 threw up a number of albums, each one representing the various genres that have slowly permeated the Nigerian music industry. We have the Highlife and Afro Pop albums (released by KCee, Solidstar and Waconzy),  Hip hop (Ice Prince), Alternative (Brymo), Indigenous (Olamide, Reminisce) and reggae (Jesse Jagz).
