Apple Music has released its much-anticipated “Africa Now: Best Songs of 2025” list, spotlighting the year’s most influential tracks across the continent and highlighting Afrobeats’ growing global dominance.

Nigerian superstar Burna Boy claims the coveted Number 1 spot with his hit single, Love, reinforcing his status as one of the genre’s leading figures.

The list reflects both established powerhouses and emerging talent shaping the African music landscape. Alongside Burna Boy, the Nigerian “Big Three”; Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy himself, feature prominently, while rising stars like Asake, Rema, Seyi Vibez, and FOLA showcase the genre’s dynamic depth.

Asake stands out with multiple entries, including his solo track Why Love at Number 2 and features on Wizkid’s Bad Girl at Number 9 and the collaborative song 99 at Number 10. Davido also secures two positions with With You (feat. Omah Lay) at Number 3 and Funds (feat. Odumodublvck & Chike) at Number 8. Rema’s Baby (Is It A Crime) lands at Number 4, while Seyi Vibez appears twice, including his single Mario Kart at Number 7 and his feature on 99.

Emerging artist FOLA makes a significant impression with two tracks on the list: Lost (feat. Kizz Daniel) at Number 5 and Very Soon with BNXN at Number 6. The compilation highlights the vibrancy and global reach of Afrobeats, illustrating how both veteran and rising stars continue to capture international attention while shaping the sound of African music in 2025.
