Top Songs of 2023: Ghana

Apple Music’s end-of-year charts are based on plays between 1 November 2022 and 31 October 2023. The sound of Ghana in 2023 is reflected in the eclectic mix of tracks featured in the Top 100 songs of the year, led by Asake’s “Lonely At The Top”, with long-time favourites from artists including Young Jonn, Omah Lay, Ayra Starr, Burna Boy and more to keep him company. There was also a lot of love for Ghana’s own—proving that home is where the heart is—as reflected in the popularity of King Promise and his monumental, amapiano-inspired hit, “Terminator”. And as a testament to the power of Black Sherif, cuts from the breakthrough rapper’s debut album, The Villain I Never Was, dominated throughout 2023, despite being released towards the end of 2022. Hit play to hear more of the songs Apple Music users were listening to on repeat this year.
