Wizkid leads this week's South African and Afrobeats chart picture, with the deluxe edition of his album Morayo reported at No. 1 on Apple Music South Africa's Top Albums chart, according to chart reporting published October 15 by Music Metrics Vault and carried by Hype Magazine.
Asake's Lungu Boy continues to post strong streaming numbers out of Nigeria, while Ayra Starr remains a fixture across African pop playlists. In South Africa, ODUMODUBLVCK's track GROOVING has been climbing Shazam's South Africa chart, a common early signal of a song crossing into wider radio and streaming rotation.
Chart positions move daily and differ by platform - Apple Music, Spotify and Shazam each measure a different audience - so this roundup reports the positions its sources published this week rather than a single official ranking.
The through-line is familiar: Nigerian Afrobeats and South African amapiano continue to trade places at the top of each other's charts, keeping both scenes at the centre of the continent's pop conversation.
