After releasing its top 20 songs for the year 2019, the Adom FM Music Chart is ready to begin the year 2020 with a big bang.
The 2020 chart is starting off with one of the biggest Christmas songs ‘Oofeetsɔ’ released by rapper Sarkodie.
Many fans of the rapper assumed the song, which featured Buk Bak’s Prince Bright, was directed at Shatta Wale because of a supposed rift between the two singers.
The praise, admiration and love Kofi Kinaata’s ‘Things Fall Apart’ got in 2019 followed it into 2020. The song began the year at number two on the chart.
At number 3, is a crowd favourite ‘Obiaato’ by Kuami Eugene. The Lynx Entertainment signee is not an act to shy away from confrontation, however, telling his haters and ‘judges’ to come for everything he has if he truly doesn’t deserve, to many fans was a move they admired. The song since its releases has inspired many to create different covers including a gospel version.
‘Ololo’ by Stonebwoy featuring Nigeria’s Teni, is still one of the most listened songs. The song is at number 4.
