Amapiano still runs the South African charts. In this week's trending songs, Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa and Myztro sit at No. 1 with "Kusazoba Mnandi," extending the piano kings' long run at the top of the country's streaming lists.
Kelvin Momo and Nia Pearl hold the No. 2 spot with "Waze Wamuhle," while DJ Stokie and Eemoh's "Masithokoze" and Kelvin Momo's "Emoyeni" keep the top of the chart firmly in soulful piano territory.
Further down, Afrobeats continues its cross-continental run: Nigeria's Ayra Starr places two songs on the South African list, a reminder that the traffic between Lagos and Johannesburg now flows in both directions every chart week.
With the festive season approaching — the period when South Africa's song of the year race truly ignites — the piano heavyweights have set down an early marker.
