Billboard Africa is the definitive voice of music, culture, and creativity across the African continent.

As the official African platform of the iconic Billboard brand, we celebrate and chronicle the sound of the continent—spotlighting artists, producers, industry leaders, and cultural innovators shaping the future of music both at home and on the global stage.

From Lagos to Nairobi, Johannesburg to Accra, Kigali to Dakar, Billboard Africa exists to amplify the richness and diversity of African soundscapes. We cover the continent’s top charts, emerging talent, major releases, and pivotal cultural moments with the same editorial integrity and global standard that has defined Billboard for over a century.

Through exclusive interviews, original storytelling, music charts, and live events, Billboard Africa offers an authentic platform that reflects the voice of a new generation—one that is bold, dynamic, and unapologetically African.

We believe African music isn’t emerging. It has emerged. And it deserves a platform as powerful as its rhythm.

Welcome to Billboard Africa—the beat of the continent.
