South Africa’s music continues to dominate the world stage as Spotify today unveiled its 2025 Global Impact List, spotlighting the Top 30 South African tracks that made the biggest waves internationally in the first half of the year.

At the forefront of this global takeover are none other than Tyla and DJ Maphorisa, whose groundbreaking contributions to Amapiano and Afro-fusion have propelled South African music into new heights of global recognition. Their tracks not only trended across continents but also cemented South Africa’s position as a powerhouse in shaping the sound of modern music.

The Global Impact List celebrates the artists, producers, and cultural movements driving the international success of South African music. It reflects how genres like Amapiano, Afrohouse, and Afro-fusion continue to resonate with audiences worldwide — from Lagos to London, New York to Tokyo.

“This recognition is more than a win for individual artists; it’s a win for the South African creative industry and proof that our sound belongs to the world,” said [Insert industry spokesperson/artist quote].
