Finally, here’s the list of South Africa’s Top 10 Favourite Amapiano Songs of 2023.
10. Yahyuppiyah  Uncle Waffles x Tony Duardo x Justin99 – ft. Pcee, EeQue, Chley.
Yahyuppiyah blew the Game (Global Music) wide open for Piano, right at the start of 2023. It was a sign of things to come. The world was never the same!!
9. Dalie – Kamo Mphela, Khalil Harrison & Tyler ICU – [Feat Baby S.O.N]
Certified Hit Maker, Superstar Performer, Ms. Mphela delivered once again. Released in October, this song went straight to #1. One of the best love songs of 2023.
8. Â Mnike – Tyler ICU & Tumelo.za – ft. DJ Maphorisa, Nandipha808, Ceeka RSA & Tyron Dee
Arguably the most Impactful Song of 2023. SA head Mnike, we mysed it, it left, went overseas and made a mess & came back. But, still, it wasn’t the hottest in SA. There was more to come!!!
7. Ngilele E Hotel – Killorbeezbeatz.
The people’s number 7; An Adaptation of a Traditional Playtime song, What we call IsGwijo, Ngilele Hotel is the most popular cross over Piano song in SA right now. A Radio favourite that will be around a long time!
6. Kwelinye – Mellow & Sleazy, TmanXpress – Kwelinye ft. Keynote
Sadly, this song dropped during Mnike’s global rise and was overshadowed by all the hype. This is one of the best Amapiano songs ever made. TMan Xpress spoke and sangs to everyone’s heart and Soul withh this song. He told all of our prayers and wishes to God!
5. Imnandi lento – Mellow & Sleazy, Sjavasdadeejay, TitoM ft. Tman Xpress
Kwelinye is Special. Imnandi Lento is Other Worldly. Sjava the Deejay, T Man Xpress, Mellow & Sleezy made Etherial Magic here TMan Xpress solidified himself as the Leading Soulful Voice of Piano. He sings directly to your SOUL!!!
4. Sgudi Snyc – De Mthuda, Da Muziqal Chef, Eemoh ft. Sipho Magudulela
De Mthuda is exactly the Game’s John Wick. When he rocks up, you know some butts are gonna get kicked! And Boy or boy did he and the Gents deliver here. Sgudi’s Nyc is an Instant CLASSIC that will live forever!
3. Hamba Juba – Lady Amar, Cici, Murumba Pitch, JL SA.
Hamba Juba is one of the most relatable songs to drop in recent years. Super repeatable and an instant winner mostly because it’s hard to believe someone finally verbalised what we have all felt but never had the courage to say out loud.
2. Awukhuzeki – DJ Stokie ft. Omit ST, Sobzeen, Zee_nhle
Whether you love someone olala in the streets (parties all night) or you are that person, this song is infuriating, it touches a nerve, deep in your studio. If you are dating a DJ or dating a Girl who loves DJs, this one is for you!
Honourable Mention
Sofa Slahlane – Leerooy Rossen ft Thorn Payne. Lee-Roy’s debut Afrosoul Piano song is our favourite Love Song of 2023. It’s a slow burner, once you get it, it’s gone, you are gone, it’s all LOVE!!! Look out for Leeroy Rossen in 2024.
1. Masithokoze – . DJ Stokie ft. Eemoh
2023 was definitely Eemoh & DJ Stokie’s year. Both these Gents were in their bag from START to FINISH and this beautiful ballard with is no exception.
