Davido Names “Fall” His Best Song in Capital XTRA Blind Ranking Challenge

Afrobeats superstar Davido has offered fans a rare glimpse into how he rates his own music, taking part in a blind ranking challenge during a recent interview with Capital XTRA. Asked to order five of his biggest records without knowing which titles were coming, the singer settled on a final list topped by his 2017 breakout hit “Fall“.

Davido Places Fall at the Top

According to reports of the interview, the challenge required Davido to place each song on his list as it was revealed, with no advance knowledge of the tracks still to come. His completed ranking put “Fall” in first place, followed by “If”, “UNAVAILABLE”, “Assurance” and the Summer Walker collaboration “D&G”.

The choice of “Fall” as his number one fits the song’s reputation as one of his most internationally successful releases. Since arriving in 2017, the track has been widely regarded as a landmark in Afrobeats’ push onto the global stage and remains one of the singer’s signature records.

The rest of the list reflects the breadth of his catalogue — from romantic favourites like “If” and “Assurance” to the chart-conquering “UNAVAILABLE” and “D&G”, a record that paired his sound with contemporary R&B through the Summer Walker feature.

Fans Debate the Final Song Order

Self-ranking exercises like this one have become a popular interview format because they invite artists to weigh their own legacies in real time — and they almost always divide opinion. True to form, Davido’s picks reportedly set off immediate debate online, with fans posting their own top-five lists and arguing over which songs deserved higher placement.

For an artist with a catalogue as deep as Davido’s, there is no consensus answer, and that is precisely the appeal. Moments like this keep older records circulating in the conversation, remind newer listeners of the hits that built his career, and underline how central he has been to Afrobeats’ rise over the past decade.
