    The Charts, Week of 2 November 2026
    HNA brand card for a data story. Ranks are from the 2 November 2026 workbook. A photograph is not required.

    Six charts. One workbook. This is the week of 2 November 2026, as HNA’s file has it.

    The workbook is the source for every rank below. Nigeria and South Africa Spotify dailies are dated 31 October 2026 via kworb. Apple Music dailies for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa were fetched on 2 November via kworb. The Official Afrobeats Chart is dated 1–7 November 2026. Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart is the week of 31 October 2026. Moves are against the previous snapshot in the same file, not against a chart HNA has not opened.

    No. 1 UK
    ‘Ikebe 3000’, Blaqbonez Ft Asake. Up from No. 2.
    No. 1 NG
    ‘INFERNO’. Spotify dated 31 Oct, and Apple Music fetched 2 Nov.
    No. 1 US
    ‘Mi Chico’, DJ Goja, Jason Derulo & Melody. Week of 31 Oct.

    United Kingdom

    Official Afrobeats Chart, top 10. Credits and spellings are the workbook’s.

    Also new: Mavo’s ‘Goyard’ at 15, ‘Cry On You’ by Odeal/ Mannywellz at 16, and ‘Owo Oluwa’ by Kizz Daniel/ Young Jonn at 20. ‘Online’ by Bnxn climbs from 18 to 14, the biggest gain inside the top 20 after the songs already in the table. Asake’s ‘Gratitude’ drops out from 3. The longer read on the No. 1 is the UK story.

    Derived from this one chart, not an artist chart: Asake leads the workbook’s score (2 entries, 36), then Fola (2, 33), then Blaqbonez (2, 23).

    Nigeria

    Spotify daily, 31 October, top 10. ‘INFERNO’ is marked NEW against the previous file. The day-three stream count is a separate kworb note in the radar, not a column in this workbook.

    Apple Music Nigeria, fetched 2 November, is a different order under the same No. 1. ‘INFERNO’ (Peruzzi, Zlatan & Shoday) is new at 1. ‘Back 2 U’ goes 1 to 2. ‘IKEBE 3000’ (Asake & Blaqbonez) goes 6 to 3. ‘B4 B4’ (Davido, FOLA & Mayorkun) goes 20 to 4. ‘If You Like’ (BNXN) goes 9 to 5.

    Nigeria Apple Music, places gained

    The largest climbs on this chart in the workbook. ‘INFERNO’ is new, so it has no previous rank and is not a bar.

    Across both Nigeria track charts, the derived artist table is led by FOLA (12 entries, score 110), Asake (8, 93) and Seyi Vibez (7, 79). That is a count of rows, not an official artist chart, and it mixes Spotify and Apple.

    Ghana

    Apple Music Ghana is Kweku Smoke’s chart. ‘Faith’, with Lasmid, holds at 1. ‘Bra’ holds at 2. ‘Bombele’ holds at 3. ‘BALOTELLI (SUPA)’ by Kofi Mole holds at 4. ‘Survivor’ holds at 5. The move from outside is ‘IKEBE 3000’, Asake & Blaqbonez, from 14 to 8. ‘ROAD RAGE’ by M.anifest & Black Sherif is new at 20.

    Derived from this chart: Kweku Smoke has 13 entries and a score of 153. Asake is next, with 3 entries and 30.

    Kenya

    Apple Music Kenya: Bien’s ‘I’ll Be Okay’ holds at 1. Asake’s ‘Forgiveness’ rises from 5 to 2. Wizkid’s ‘Come Closer (feat. Drake)’ slips from 2 to 3. ‘Gratitude’ holds at 4. ‘MONEY CONSTANT’ (DJ Maphorisa, DJ Tunez, Wizkid & Mavo) goes from 3 to 5.

    Derived from this chart, Wizkid leads (6 entries, score 78), then Asake (5, 64), then Mavo (2, 25). Bien has the No. 1 and one entry in that table.

    South Africa

    Spotify South Africa, 31 October: ‘Nayvee’s Prayer’ (DJ Zinhle & Nayvee Womculo, Young Stunna) holds at 1. ‘Remember’ (Tman Xpress & Mellow & Sleazy) holds at 2. ‘Myeke’ holds at 3. ‘Ama hem hem’ rises from 5 to 4. ‘Luqale sakudlala’ slips from 4 to 5. ‘Baba Yilwa’ climbs from 14 to 7.

    Apple Music South Africa, fetched 2 November: the same top three songs hold, with ‘Nayvee’s Prayer’ credited DJ Zinhle, Nayvee Womculo & Young Stunna. ‘uMoya 2.0 (feat. Soulful Disciple) [Tycoon Remix]’ holds at 4. Dlala Thukzin and Zeh McGeba’s ‘Sobuye Sbonane’ is new at 5. Two more Dlala Thukzin titles are new inside the top 20: ‘Ithuba (feat. Mpho.Wav)’ at 13, and ‘Kuwe (feat. Sino Msolo)’ at 16.

    Derived across both South Africa track charts: DJ Zinhle, Young Stunna, Mellow and Sleazy are tied at a score of 54. Dlala Thukzin has 4 entries and a score of 35. Again, that is rows in the file, not an official artist chart.

    United States

    Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs, week of 31 October 2026, top 10, as the workbook lists it:

    Derived from this chart: Tyla leads on entries in the top three of the score table with Asake (Tyla 3 entries, score 47; Asake 4 entries, score 47), then FOLA (6 entries, score 34).

    Stream counts are not in the workbook. Where a stream total appears elsewhere on HNA this week, it is cited to kworb through the radar, in the ‘Inferno’ story, and it is not mixed into these tables.
