Top 10 Songs in Uganda Now – Ugandan Music Hits July 2025

Top 10 Songs in Uganda Now – Ugandan Music Hits July 2025

It’s July 2025, a big applause to Ugandan music artists whose early-year tracks have crossed over into the second half of the year and are still topping charts. That’s no small feat!

In an industry where any newbie can record a sound and, with TikTok or a single radio spin, shake up the airwaves for months, maintaining consistent hits as an established artist demands more than just talent or luck, at some point, it calls for reinvention or a full artist rebrand.

Take Weasel Manizo, for instance, he carved out a name with solo music hits like Nakujali in the early 2000s, but ended up being celebrated mainly as the other half of the Radio and Weasel duo, thanks to their 2008 debut, Nakudata featuring Omulangira Suuna. Or Bebe Cool, who transitioned from a celebrated reggae artist to any genre and now, after his 2025 Break The Chains album, Bebe Cool humorously carries the tag of Ugandan-Nigerian artist. Okay, maybe these aren’t the best examples, but hey, what about Kapeke?

Remember that COVID-season Okakasa Olubuto hit? That same Kapeke rebranded from the 2020 Destiny Boy to today’s Kapeke Yuh Nuh Say with Ekimalufa, which kicked off with the 2024 Swiriri release featuring Rickman Manrick. Or Elijah Kitaka, once the bald, live band guy before the 2019 Son of Kaloli album, who is now the Swangz Avenue star whose eccentric fashion makes him look like a stylish vagabond covered in rings and pins. These two didn’t just evolve musically; they rebranded their entire personas. And guess what? It worked, and they’re topping charts. Including this one.
