Apple Music has also released its official Top 10 Albums of 2025 in Sub-Saharan Africa, further highlighting the dominance of Afrobeats and Amapiano across the continent’s streaming space.

Nigerian superstar Wizkid clinched the No. 1 position with his critically acclaimed project “Morayo,” which maintained massive streaming numbers throughout the year.

His long-time rival and fellow Afrobeats heavyweight Davido followed closely at No. 2 with his album “5ive,” a project that has enjoyed strong global reception.

South African producer Kelvin Momo secured two spots on the list—No. 3 and No. 7—with his albums “Ntsako” and “Thato Ya Modimo,” reinforcing the unstoppable growth of Amapiano across Africa.

The full Top 10 Albums list is as follows:

1. Wizkid — Morayo


2. Davido — 5ive


3. Kelvin Momo — Ntsako


4. BNXN — CAPTAIN


5. Burna Boy — No Sign Of Weakness

7. Kelvin Momo — Thato Ya Modimo


8. Kabza De Small — Bab’motha

The 2025 album rankings reveal an impressive Nigerian dominance, with six out of ten entries, while Amapiano giants from South Africa continue to command continental influence.
