Chart: Ethiopian Music Top 10 | Period: September 2026 (Kworb weeks ending Sep 10, Sep 17 and Sep 24) | Platform: YouTube Ethiopia | Status: Provisional
Note: the rankings shown here are preliminary and provisional until the official chart methodology is finalized.
The Ethiopian Music Top 10 is ethio.music’s monthly chart. It ranks songs across all languages and genres by YouTube Ethiopia plays, not just new releases. Teddy Afro’s Etorika has six of the ten spots. Hailu Amerga’s Keteraraw Mado is the September No. 1, and Dagne Walle’s double release breaks into the Top 10 after only two chart weeks.
Methodology: each song’s total is the sum of its streams on Kworb’s YouTube Ethiopia weekly chart for the weeks ending 2026/09/10, 2026/09/17 and 2026/09/24. A song outside a week’s published Top 20 counts zero for that week. Only Official or Likely official uploads are ranked, and non-Ethiopian titles are left out (Shakira’s Dai Dai, 741,857, would have been #9). Full rules are on the methodology page.
