Mayorkun’s Home Training made the biggest climb in ChartStats’ Nigerian Apple Music Top 100 for Tuesday, 3 November. The song rose from number 91 on Monday to number 64 on Tuesday. The fresh development is the jump in the listening chart several days after the single came out on 30 October.
There are two different comparisons a listener can make here. A glance down Tuesday’s list tells you which titles ranked above Home Training that day. Putting Monday’s list beside it tells you something else about the song: it had entered at 91 before gaining 27 places between the two snapshots. Neither table gives the number of plays behind that change.
The single, produced by Fresh VDM, turns a familiar Nigerian expression into a love song. When someone talks about a person’s “home training”, they usually mean the manners the person learned growing up. Mayorkun plays with the idea that attraction can make someone behave quite differently from the way their family taught them.
There is a longer musical history behind the release. This year marks a decade since Mayorkun’s debut single Eleko came out in 2016. His 2018 album The Mayor of Lagos and its 2021 successor Back in Office form part of the background to a new project that returns to the mayor title.
Apple Music lists Long Live, The Mayor! as a five-song EP scheduled for 30 November. Its preview invites listeners to hear Home Training and save the forthcoming project to their libraries in advance. That date belongs to the planned EP release. The single is already available, with an accompanying music video.
What it means for you: If you discover songs through a chart, check the date and the service before sharing a ranking. Number 64 describes this song on Apple Music in Nigeria in the 3 November snapshot. The table cannot tell you its position on radio, its sales across Nigeria or how high it will eventually climb.
