THE TRACK THAT UNITES US
The Anthem That Takes Us Forward
Btv Song of the Year is a cultural spotlight — created to honour the music and the artists that moved the culture and shaped the sound of the year
Our aim is to shine a light on the tracks that made an impact, sparked conversations, dominated dancefloors, and connected people across South Africa. It’s not just about one moment — it’s about the songs that carried the year, across genres and across the country.
Each year, we’ll be recognizing:
- The most impactful songs across key genres
- The breakout anthems that defined the summer
- And ultimately, one song that brought it all together — the Btv Song of the Year
From amapiano to hip hop, gospel to house, this platform honours the voices and stories that kept the culture moving forward.
This is your music. Your moment. Your sound of the year
