If there’s anything we learned about shifting trends in the production of mainstream bangers in 2022, a song can blow up out of nowhere and have the streets in a chokehold.
We also saw how the mileage of such hits, emerging anywhere from Tok Tok trends to viral dance styles and soundtracks on a popular scene in a TV series can range from a few days to a few months. K.O’s ‘SETE’, on the other hand, boasts remarkable staying power.
The bop, featuring Young Stunna and Blxckie, remains at #1 on the Channel O Top 30. Big Nuz made a triumphant return to the charts with their hit single ‘Ngeke’, which now doubles as an homage to the late Mampintsha. The song marks this week’s highest new entry. Could it read the top?
AKA and Nasty C’s Lemons (Lemonade) is steady on the chart. The hit slides down one position to #3. Senior Oat’s ‘All In You’, one of the biggest joints this past summer, climbs up four spots to #4. The breakthrough scorcher has already topped the chart. And Blaq Diamond’s ‘Qoma’ has risen one position to land at #5.
Here are the latest Channel O Top 30 chart standings.
