The South Africa Top 100 Songs Chart tracks the most popular songs on Apple Music and iTunes in South Africa. Shaza currently holds number one with FRIDAY. Last updated 22 August 2026.
Apple publishes a separate chart for every storefront, so this listing reflects what people in South Africa are playing and buying rather than a global average. There are 51 genre charts for South Africa, alongside a separate albums chart.
Counts treat each credit line as one act, so a collaboration is counted separately from its individual artists.
