Spotify has officially rolled out its 2025 Wrapped data for Ghana, and the results once again affirm what many music lovers already know: Black Sherif is the unstoppable streaming champion of the nation.
The announcement was made today, December 3, through Spotify’s official social media platforms. At just 23 years old, Mohammed Ismail Sherif—popularly known as Black Sherif—has cemented his place at the top of Ghana’s music ecosystem, securing the Number 1 spot as Ghana’s Most Streamed Artiste for the second consecutive year after also dominating the charts in 2024.
His compelling storytelling, raw emotion, and genre-bending sound continue to resonate deeply with fans both locally and internationally, placing him at the summit of digital music consumption in the country.
Coming in strong at Number 2 is Kweku Smoke, achieving his highest-ever ranking on Spotify Wrapped. The Kumasi rapper’s rapid growth in 2025 has been impossible to ignore, fuelled by chart-topping releases, street anthems, and a dedicated fanbase that propelled him into elite territory.
Legendary rapper Sarkodie holds firm at Number 3, reaffirming that consistency, experience, and lyrical excellence remain powerful forces in Ghana’s music landscape. Even in a year dominated by rising stars, the “Landlord” maintains his influence with ease.
At Number 4, Kwesi Arthur marks a strong comeback into the Top 5 after a stellar year that re-energised his fanbase and reminded listeners of the talent that made “Grind Day” a national wave.
Rounding off the list at Number 5 is dancehall titan Shatta Wale, whose loyal Shatta Movement fanbase once again ensured his presence among Ghana’s top-tier streamed artistes.
