Top Songs of 2025: Ghana

Apple Music’s end-of-year charts are based on plays between November 1, 2024, and October 31, 2025. The music that heated up Ghanaian charts in 2025 was steeped in familiarity by way of new projects from some of the country’s most beloved stars. Stonebwoy returned in full command, his bass-deep growl giving even the breeziest rhythms weight and authority. AratheJay’s The Odyssey weaved Afropop, alté, and emotive phrasing into a distinct sound with confident songwriting and an intentional sonic palette. 99 PHACES marshaled multiple vocalists and producers into their genre-bending sound—earning an Apple Music Up Next distinction—while Black Sherif remained a force apart: his songwriting devoid of standardized structure; his agile, textured voice always carrying both yearning and grit; his work continually bending toward something both intimate and emotionally volatile.
