2013 was an amazing year music wise with a lot of songs becoming hot favourites at parties, in clubs, and on the radio.
Tosyn Bucknor, host of the hugely popular morning radio show, ‘Top of the Morning With Tosyn Bucknor’ on Top Radio 90.9 recently hosted her annual, ‘Top 90 Songs of 2013’ countdown, and this time, she had a little help from her friends.
Dr Sid, Sean Tizzle and DeeTunes co-hosted the countdown which hsd songs like, ‘Surulere’ (Dr Sid featuring Don Jazzy), Emi ni Baller (Chidinma featuring Suspect and Illbliss), ‘Jasi’ (Banky W), ‘Daddy’ (Reminisce ft Davido), ‘Repete’ (Black Magic), ‘Odun Yi’ (Jaywon), ‘Toh Bad’ (Niyola), ‘Mama E’ (Sean Tizzle).
Dr Sid, whose album, ‘SIDuction’ is out now in stores, said some of his biggest songs this year were ‘Skelewu’ by Davido and ‘Rotate’ by Wande Coal, also urged fans to move on and away from the whole Mo’Hits split. According to him, “If you loved and supported us before, then support us as we grow and move on and do new things”. He also spoke about how he met his fiancee, and the last time he saw his father alive.
