TurnTable Charts is a Nigerian music-data and charts company based in Lagos, founded in July 2020 by Ayomide Oriowo and Adegoke Similoluwa. It builds and publishes music charts for Nigeria and other African markets, drawing on streaming, airplay and sales data.

The company is independent and founder-led. It runs a set of weekly and annual charts and a music certification system, positioning itself as a Nigerian counterpart to established international chart bodies, and its data has been picked up widely across the local industry and press.

It matters as one of the first credible, independent measurement layers for the Nigerian music market, where standardised chart and certification data had been largely absent.
