The Top 40 on 5

Hanna is a South African based singer/ song writer that currently has her song "Lover Girl" on the Top40 On 5. IShe first caught our attention with insane viral freestyles while studying at UCT, and she has built an untouchable reputation for switching effortlessly between razor-sharp rap bars and gorgeous melodies. Her latest single is a massive Afropop anthem that is officially tearing up the charts right now. Harrison Mkhize had a chat with her on the Top40 On 5, they spoke about her journey as an artist and what creating music that keeps topping the charts feels like. She also covered how her Ethiopia and Zimbabwe have influenced her music and creativity.  

On Sunday, June 7th, we locked in with none other than digital powerhouse and lifestyle tastemaker, Urbane Eddie, who stepped into the hot seat as our Social Icon of the Week!

Urban Eddie gave a masterclass on culture, content creation, and scaling your personal brand. Eddie opened up about what it really takes to curate a digital presence that keeps the timelines talking, his secrets to staying authentic in a world full of filters, and how he navigates the high-speed lane of SA digital culture.

The charts were on fire this week, but the absolute highlight of the countdown was when the incredibly talented Ben Rodrigues pulled up to the studio!

Ben joined us live on the Top 40 to talk about his meteoric rise, his musical evolution, and most importantly, his brand-new track, "Back To You." He gave us the ultimate exclusive look at the song that is already starting to take over your playlists and your TikTok FYP.

Ben has fast become one of the most exciting names in the scene, blending raw, relatable songwriting with infectious production. If you missed the live broadcast, you missed an incredibly honest, behind-the-scenes look at an artist who is actively shaping the sound of local pop culture.

The guy with the receipts.
