I don’t claim to be an expert in predictions, but I can comfortably say who are the likely artistes to dominate this year’s music charts in Zimbabwe Having watched the trend in the just ended 2024, it is natural to think that the same artistes will prevail in 2025 There might be one or two new players but the competition is getting tougher First up is music, so get ready to discover which artistes and trends will be dominating the airwaves in 2025
This article is full of insider info from people in the know Artistes who will dominate the scene in 2025 include Winky D, despite his challenges with some authorities for expressing his thoughts about Zimbabwe’s situation freely He was in the charts last year with Iyeye , This year, there will also be Jah Prayzah who also showed us his dominance in 2024 through songs like Furuwa and Nyeredzi Freeman came up with the hits Handikurove and Zvemafirimu before his counterpart, Nutty O delivered Chamuvhiriri
Not to be outdone, Saintfloew who fought hard to remain in the charts the whole of 2024 gave us Parikuda Munhu and Banga while Holy Ten also brought the hit Delilah Killer T who rules the ghettos of Harare and other parts on Zimbabwe,not to be left behind, threw into the ring, a popular song known as Kana Ndanyura The song is still trending right now In gospel circles, Minister Michael Mahendere gave us Guta Rehutiziro while Mambo Dhuterere countered this offering with another gospel scorcher,
Ndiye Manuwere I am certain that they will deliver more chart-topping gospel tunes this year In Zimdancehall, Master H’s Dhanzi also cracked the 2024 charts Enzo Ishal hit the charts with Masahwira
Chillmaster came up with Dai Tangosiyana Nazvo and Hapasikuda Nharo while Voltz JT scored with Kutidzorera Mushure With the innovativeness of these charismatic Zimdancehall artistes, I bet my bottom dollar that 2025 will continue to shine light on them Of course, Alick Macheso who released Zvichada Hama on the Kupa Kuturika album in August 2024 will continue to rule the roost in Sungura circles Having looked at and analysed the chart-topping music on the year 2024, it is my belief that the same artistes listed above, will be competing for the same space in 2025
Predictions are usually statements about what one thinks will happen in the future As the above artistes compete for space, there is no doubt that the same musicians will dominate the charts in 2025 Let’s take a look back at the year 2024 then go out on a limb for what could happen in 2025 We are in unpredictable territory for a bunch of reasons, but there are encouraging trends in the music industry
We know that Jah Prayzah and Winky D will remain at the top of the Zimbabwean charts in 2025 It’s undeniable that 2024 has been the year where a lot of musicians have been more creative online and have used live streaming platforms like TikTok, Instagram or X to provide high quality content to audiences and very often by incorporating licensed music in their streams Last year, streaming accounted for around 90% of music consumption Source: The Standard Zimbabwe
