Audiences in Africa are a grossly under-researched demographic. This paper centres on the comparative analysis of two electoral audience-based surveys conducted between April and September 2012 in the Nigerian states of Bayelsa and Lagos; following the April 2011 presidential election in Nigeria that ushered the erstwhile President Goodluck Jonathan into power. The surveys sought to know the electorates' reaction to the electoral campaign songs that endorsed Jonathan and how these songs informed their choice of candidate. The paper's analysis combines an appreciation of the surveys' results and the surveys' procedure while focusing on the middle-ground between aesthetics and politics in the context.
