There are artists who make hits. Then there are artists who make moments. Mohbad was the latter. His sound felt like a Friday night in Lagos — loud, unpredictable, full of emotion. One minute he’s singing about survival with grit and gravel in his voice, the next he’s riding a beat that could light up an entire room.

Mohbad’s work lingers. It’s not just the rhythm, it’s also the honesty. His lyrics echo real-life Lagos: the resilience, the hustle, the small joys. Whether it’s a slow groove or rapid-fire delivery, there’s always a sense of purpose. Each verse came across as personal, made for the listener who needed to feel seen, even in the middle of a packed dancefloor.

And the reach was wide too. From house parties in Surulere to playlists in London, his sound travelled far, touching people wherever it played.

These five songs have been on loop since the day we heard them, and we’re not hitting pause anytime soon.

And then there’s the more recent collab that stole our hearts, “Egwu” with Chike. A rich mix of soul and rhythm that had us dancing, and still keeps us grooving like it’s brand new.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Apple Music has unveiled its list of the 500 most-streamed songs of the decade, with Ed Sheeran’s global hit Shape of You taking the top spot.

The British singer-songwriter’s 2017 track has outperformed every other song on the platform in the past 10 years, beating The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights and Drake’s God’s Plan, which landed in second and third place respectively.

Upon its release, Shape of You shattered Apple Music’s record for the highest number of first-day streams and went on to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks. The track later earned Ed Sheeran a Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance in 2018.

The remainder of the top 10 features a mix of pop and hip-hop heavyweights. Post Malone makes two appearances with Sunflower alongside Swae Lee at No. 4 and Rockstar featuring 21 Savage at No. 5. Other chart-toppers include Drake’s One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla, Travis Scott’s Sicko Mode, Sheeran’s Perfect, Chris Brown’s No Guidance, and Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy.

Elsewhere on the list, The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s Closer ranks at No. 11, Kendrick Lamar’s Humble at No. 15, Ariana Grande’s 7 rings at No. 19, and BTS’ record-breaking Dynamite at No. 34.

Drake holds the title for the most entries on the list, with 27 songs making the cut. Taylor Swift follows with 14, while Mariah Carey secures a notable spot as the only artist with a holiday track in the upper rankings, her classic All I Want for Christmas Is You lands at No. 100.

To mark the milestone, Apple Music released a special playlist featuring the full 500-song lineup and shared an exclusive interview with Ed Sheeran. Reflecting on the enduring success of Shape of You, Sheeran told Zane Lowe, “No one can take away the song. I’ll be able to play it forever… I’m just grateful to have songs like that, where anywhere in the world, you can pick up a guitar and make someone happy.”

The full list of all most-streamed songs and playlist are now available for streaming on Apple Music.
