10 Most Viewed Tanzanian Music Videos on YouTube by Solo Artists

Bongo Flava, a term affectionately used to describe Tanzanian music, has seen significant growth both domestically and internationally since its emergence in the 1990s. This genre is represented by iconic artists such as Diamond Platnumz, who not only is a leading figure in the industry as a celebrated artist and CEO of WCB Wasafi but also plays a pivotal role in promoting Tanzanian culture on a global stage. Other notable artists contributing to the genre’s popularity include Rayvanny, Alikiba, Harmonize, Zuchu, Marioo, and Jay Melody, among others.

Recent data from the Instagram page @chartstanzania reveals the list of the top ten official solo artist videos with the highest YouTube views in Tanzania. Remarkably, eight of these top ten videos are by artists from the WCB label, with six belonging to Diamond Platnumz himself.

However, Zuchu has claimed the top spot, surpassing all other Bongo Flava artists, including her boss, Diamond Platnumz. Mbosso’s video ranks fourth, and both he and Zuchu are from the WCB Wasafi label. Rayvanny’s “Kwetu” and Harmonize’s Happy Birthdayalso make the list, notable for both being former members of the WCB Wasafi label, which is under Diamond Platnumz’s leadership.
