Derived from Apple Music's official South African chart: non-South African entries are removed and the official order is otherwise preserved. A credit counts as South African only when it matches a verified Viranova artist profile — entries we cannot verify are excluded rather than guessed, so a qualifying song can be missing while its credit is unprofiled.

Reproduced without alteration from the YouTube Music Charts Top Songs list for South Africa. This is a VIEWS chart, not a sales or streaming-revenue chart, and it counts YouTube only — a song can rank here and nowhere else, and that difference is the point of showing it beside the audio charts rather than blended into them.
