TurnTable Charts 2024 Awards: Mavin Records Dominates with Major Wins
Nigeria’s foremost music chart publication, TurnTable Charts, has revealed the winners of its highly anticipated 2024 Awards, which celebrate the best-performing artists, songs, albums, and personalities in the Nigerian music scene. The awards honor the excellence and impact made by music professionals in the industry over the past year.
One of the standout recipients of the 2024 TurnTable Awards is Mavin Global President, Tega Oghenejobo, who was named Executive of the Year. Oghenejobo’s leadership has been pivotal in the remarkable growth of Mavin Records, which continues to solidify its position as one of Nigeria’s leading record labels. His stewardship has seen the label reach new heights, with significant commercial success and strategic moves that have increased its global stature.
In 2024, Mavin Records’ signees Rema and Ayra Starr released albums that captivated both local and international audiences. Rema’s album Heis and Ayra Starr’s The Year I Turned 21 both made Pulse Nigeria’s Top 10 Albums of 2024 list. These releases further showcased the immense talent and commercial potential of the label’s roster.
A game-changing moment came in February 2024 when Mavin Records was acquired by Universal Music in a landmark deal rumored to be worth over $200 million. This acquisition not only enhanced Mavin’s value but also marked a significant shift in the global recognition of Nigerian music, thanks to Oghenejobo’s visionary leadership.
At the TurnTable 2024 Awards, Mavin Records’ marketing team also took home the prestigious Creative Direction in Music award for their brilliant campaign surrounding Ayra Starr’s The Year I Turned 21. The campaign, which featured innovative strategies and striking visuals, played a major role in propelling Ayra Starr to even greater success, establishing her as one of Nigeria’s most powerful musical voices.
Ayra Starr herself received recognition at the awards for her extraordinary achievements in live performance. The Grammy-nominated artist was awarded Best Live Performance for her incredible feat of touring with the multi-Grammy-winning band Coldplay in 2024. Ayra Starr’s performances as an opening act on Coldplay’s world tour captured the attention of global audiences and reaffirmed her place on the international stage.
The 2024 TurnTable Awards demonstrated the undeniable influence and impact that Nigerian music is having worldwide, and Mavin Records’ remarkable achievements under Tega Oghenejobo’s leadership highlight the bright future of the industry. With top-tier talent like Rema and Ayra Starr leading the charge, the label’s success continues to grow, showcasing the power and global potential of Nigerian artists.
