Comment: Only one source independent of Billboard has been cited. That's not enough Mach61 (talk) 00:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I think this draft needs more secondary sources. Affiliation with a notable entity (Billboard) doesn't make this record chart inherently notable. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 20:52, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
South Africa Songs is a record chart that ranks the best performing songs in South Africa based on streaming and digital sales. It was launched on 15 February 2022 by American magazine Billboard as part of their Hits of the World chart collection.[1]
The chart is updated and published by Billboard weekly every Tuesday since it's first chart dated February 19, 2022. The chart's first number-one was "Paris" by Q-Mark and TpZee featuring Afriikan Papi.[2] The current number-one is "iPlan" by Dlala Thukzin featuring Zaba & Sykes.[3]
Methology[edit]
Data is compiled by Luminate and a song's performance is tracked from Friday to Thursday, with streaming and digital sales being taken into account. Much like the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard publishes the latest chart weekly every Tuesday, with each chart being post-dated with the "week ending" issue date four days after the charts are refreshed online (i.e., the following Saturday). For example:
- Friday, January 1 – tracking-week begins for digital sales and streaming
- Thursday, January 7 – tracking-week ends for digital sales and streaming
- Tuesday, January 12 – new chart released, with issue post-dated Saturday, January 16

- ^ Billboard incorrectly credited Mellow & Sleazy as 'Mellow And'
- ^ Billboard credits all artists as lead artists although officially the latter four are credited as featured artists
- ^ Billboard only credits Mellow & Sleazy for "Imnandi Lento" although officially, the song is by Mellow & Sleazy, SjavasDaDeejay and TitoM featuring Tman Xpress
