Boniface on his top 2023 songs: I use Seyi Vibez and Odumodu wound my ears
Nigeria's Victor Boniface has shared his top songs of the year for 2023 after Spotify unwrapped was released.
The pair are believed to be leading the race for France Football's coveted prize; however, their underwhelming performances in this summer's international tournaments have caused fans to source for alternatives.
Vinicius’ performance for Brazil did not reach the heights he maintained with Real Madrid last season and due to indiscipline, he was unavailable in the quarter-final against Uruguay, when the Selecao got knocked out.
Bellingham, on the other hand, has scored two important goals for England, and the Three Lions are still alive in the European Championships; however, his overall play has repeatedly been called into question.

Following Rodri’s flawless performance to help Spain depose France in the European Championship semi-final, the Declan Rice crooner stated that the Manchester City midfielder was the best footballer in the world, not Vinicius of Bellingham.
