The iTunes Top 40 Afrikaans Songs Chart is your weekly window into the world of afrikaans music — popular music sung in Afrikaans — a language spoken by millions in South Africa and Namibia. Updated every week, this chart ranks the top 40 afrikaans music singles on iTunes, giving you a real-time snapshot of what’s resonating most with fans of the genre right now.
The genre has been shaped by visionaries like Kurt Darren, Juanita du Plessis, Bok van Blerk, and Riku Lätti who blend boeremusiek with modern pop, whose work defines what afrikaans music can sound and feel like. Whether the genre has centuries of tradition behind it or only emerged in recent decades, the artists on this chart are its current standard-bearers.
