Four Weeks at the Top
South Africa’s rising stars Jazzwrld & Thukuthela continue their domination of the digital charts as their debut collaborative album, The Most Wanted, remains No. 1 on the Spotify South Africa Weekly Album Chart for the fourth week in a row.
The project has accumulated a staggering 3.875 million streams this week, marking the biggest fourth-week total ever recorded on Spotify South Africa — a milestone that underscores the duo’s surging popularity and the growing power of the country’s Afro-house and 3-step sound.
A Record-Breaking Debut
Released on 19 September 2025, The Most Wanted has proven to be a breakout success both commercially and culturally. The 13-track album fuses Afro-house, Amapiano, Afro-tech, and 3-step influences into a genre-defining soundscape that balances emotion, groove, and innovation.
Standout tracks like “uValo” (feat. Dlala Thukzin), “Uzizwa Kanjan”, and “uMA weNGANE” have each contributed to the project’s viral momentum, helping the album sustain consistent growth across playlists and radio rotations nationwide.
The Duo Behind the Magic
Jazzwrld, the visionary producer known for blending deep rhythmic textures with soulful instrumentation, and Thukuthela, whose vocals add a rich emotional depth to every track, have created one of the most compelling partnerships in South African music this year.
Their chemistry shines across the album’s storytelling — exploring themes of love, spirituality, and triumph — all while pushing the boundaries of modern Afro-electronic sound.
Taking South African Sound to the World
Beyond its numbers, The Most Wanted is a statement of artistic intent. Jazzwrld previously described the project as “more than music — it’s a cultural statement about taking our sound to the world.”
That ambition now appears to be coming to life. The duo’s success has not only made history on Spotify South Africa but also positioned them among the leading forces shaping Africa’s global music identity.
A Milestone Moment for Local Music
With its fourth consecutive week at No. 1 and a record-breaking streaming total, The Most Wanted stands as a testament to the global rise of South African genres — proving that authentic, locally rooted sounds can reach massive digital heights.
As Jazzwrld & Thukuthela continue their chart-topping run, they’re not just rewriting streaming records — they’re redefining the sound of a new generation.
