The year 2025 was a rollercoaster for the Ugandan music scene, defined by massive collaborations, the undeniable power of TikTok, and a blend of raw street anthems with polished international sounds. From Sheebah’s spiritual yet groovy year-end dominance to Joshua Baraka’s global explosion, the industry showed that it’s not just growing—it’s evolving.
🔥 The Top 10 Hits of 2025
1. Dance for the Lord Remix (feat. Bentrom) – Sheebah
Just when we thought the year was wrapping up, Queen Sheebah dropped this spiritual banger in mid-December. Collaborating with Bentrom, she delivered a high-energy gospel-infused track that instantly became the crossover anthem of the festive season. It’s a testament to her versatility—proving she can command the pulpit just as well as the club.
2. Nzalina (feat. Winnie Nwagi Spice Diana DAX VIBEZ & KAPEKE) – Feffe Bussi
If there was an award for ‘The Avengers of Ugandan Music’ in 2025, this track would take it. Feffe Bussi assembled a heavy-hitting lineup featuring Winnie Nwagi, Spice Diana, and the new street favorite Kapeke. Released in late November, ‘Nzalina’ is a sweet ballad that surprised fans with its star power and harmonious blend of styles, proving that beefs can be put aside for a certified hit.
3. See You Tonight (feat. Cindy Sanyu) – Omega 256
A classic ‘passing of the torch’ moment that turned into a duet of equals. Western Uganda’s shining star Omega 256 tapped the King Herself, Cindy Sanyu, for this August release. The track bridges the gap between regional stardom and national dominance, delivering a dancehall-pop fusion that kept clubs busy for over 20 weeks.
4. Nakkiriza – Spice Diana & Vyroota (feat. Vyroota) – Spice Diana
Released in September, this song was surrounded by drama and triumph. While the headlines were dominated by news of Spice Diana surviving a scary car shooting incident, ‘Nakkiriza’ offered a soothing counter-narrative. It’s a beautiful love ballad where Vyroota’s silky vocals perfectly complement Spice’s style, reminding us that music often shines brightest in dark times.
5. Go – Karole Kasita
Karole Kasita proved her longevity with ‘Go,’ a Reggae/Afro-beat jam that refused to leave the charts for 36 weeks. Originally released in April with a remix following in July, it became the soundtrack for the ‘rich aunty’ vibe of 2025. It’s laid back, catchy, and undeniably Karole.
6. Wesibadde – Sheebah
Sheebah appears again, showcasing her dominance. ‘Wesibadde’ is classic Sheebah—confident, rhythmic, and made for the radio. While it didn’t have the massive gospel crossover appeal of her #1 hit, it held the mid-table down for months, keeping her name on everyone’s lips throughout the year.
7. KAPATI – Alien Skin Official & Sandra NAXX
The most controversial song of the year? Quite possibly. Released in August, ‘KAPATI’ sparked a fierce debate when Bebe Cool criticized it, claiming it showed ‘talent no longer matters.’ But the streets disagreed. Fueled by a viral rehearsal video showing the raw chemistry between Alien Skin and Sandra NAXX, the song became an anthem for the ghetto youth and a middle finger to the industry gatekeepers.
8. Wrong Places – Joshua Baraka
If 2023 was the year of ‘Nana,’ 2025 was the year Joshua Baraka cemented his international status. ‘Wrong Places’ was a digital monster, allegedly racking up billions of views across TikTok globally. Part of his album ‘Juvie,’ this track is sophisticated, melodic, and proof that Ugandan pop can compete on the world stage without compromising its soul.
9. Kaba – KAPEKE
Kapeke solidified his spot as the ‘Bad Boy’ of the new school with ‘Kaba.’ A hip-hop leaning track that resonated with the younger demographic, it stayed on the charts for 35 weeks. It’s gritty, energetic, and signals a shift in what the Ugandan youth are consuming.
10. Ngishutheni – Goon Flavour & Master KG & Eemoh
No year is complete without a South African import taking over Kampala, and in 2025, this was it. Master KG returned with ‘Ngishutheni,’ the Amapiano/Afro-house summer anthem that played in every bar from Kololo to Mbale. It’s a feel-good party track about looking fresh and living the good life.
