5.Tonyt (Rema Namakula)
Trust me Rema Namakula as a sure win to always release a hit song every year. She might not release many songs in a year but the little she does always rules the airwaves.
Her Tonyt song released two months ago has proved that she’s timeless. It has so far collected 1.7m views on YouTube and is still getting better.
4.Balipila Boda (Eddy Kenzo)
A list without Uganda’s finest definitely has no meaning. Kenzo has maintained his consistency at the top for over a decade now.
This year couldn’t get any better for the Big Talent boss. From a Grammy nomination to an album release and again to a Grammy consideration, Kenzo has done it all.
Besides, he’s released several songs this year but Balipila Boda has stood out. The song was released 2 months ago and it’s close to amassing a million views on YouTube.
3.Bailando (Vinka)
The Swangz Avenue singer had taken some months without giving us a hit song but when she got into studio, she gave us a banger. And this is none other than Bailando.
As a result, the song had her listed as one of those musicians put up for Grammy consideration. Unfortunately she didn’t make the final nominations but at least her work was noticed.
Released 7 months ago, the song has about 4.1m views on YouTube. And Vinka definitely looks set to establish herself as one of the finest singers in the Pearl of Africa.
2.Chekecha (Karole Kasita ft Winnie Nwagi and Vinka)
Mama King first released the song alone and it did fairly good. But the moment she added Swangz Avenue duo, Winnie Nwagi and Vinka, it became a monstrous hit.
Chekecha was released 4 months ago and so far has 3.3m views on YouTube. This has been a very monumental year for the Balance singer. She even managed to stage her debut concert which did well.
1.Party (Alien Skin)
Has there been a bigger hit than the Fangon Forest boss’ Party song? Absolutely not although tastes and preferences come into play.
Furthermore, this has been an Alien Skin year without a doubt. This song was released 5 months ago and so far has 1.9m views on YouTube.
