Our criteria to list these songs are not only based on Youtube Views and popularity, but also based on views on our site, and joint critique from colleagues. So our criteria go thus

Critiqsite Website Engagement/views

Critiqsite Social Media Views
Artist Youtube Views

And Most importantly our personal research, thoughts, and review. We may have many other artist and songs that could make the list like, Awu- Sidomina, Big Game -La Chose La, Tilla Ole Ole, Wax Deys – Non-Non –  and many other hit songs. But the truth is that we need to appreciate Cameroonian music, If you could make a playlist of songs that will play in Club, the club will definitely stick on Cameroonian music alone. Lots and lots of Mega Jams out there.
