South Africa Top 100 Pop Songs Chart

The South Africa Top 100 Pop Songs Chart tracks the most popular pop songs on Apple Music and iTunes in South Africa. Shakira & Burna Boy currently holds number one with Dai Dai. Last updated 21 August 2026.

Pop is Apple's broadest music category, so its chart usually sits closest to an overall picture of what a country is listening to.

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.

Number 1 song Dai Dai Shakira & Burna Boy

Counts treat each credit line as one act, so a collaboration is counted separately from its individual artists.
