Top 10 African Countries by Music Revenue:

1. South Africa – $33 million
2. Egypt – $30 million
3. Nigeria – $27 million
4. Zimbabwe – $13 million
5. Morocco – $13 million
6. Kenya – $9 million
7. Algeria – $7 million
8. Sudan – $4 million
9. Cameroon – $4 million
10. Tunisia – $3 million

Note: Nigeria has the largest music industry in Africa, with more songs breaking through the continental and international markets. However, South Africa generates the most revenue due to:

1. A well-structured music industry that collects royalties fairly.
2. Government bodies that monitor and ban pirated and illegal distributions.
3. Official investment bodies supporting local music shows, festivals, and concerts.
4. Radio stations and TV channels playing almost 80% local music.

Zimbabwe’s music industry is thriving, with a variety of genres like Zimdancehall, Afro-pop, hip-hop, and traditional music contributing to its success. The country’s music scene has been boosted by talented artists like Winky D, Jah Prayzah, and Alick Macheso, who have gained international recognition.

Additionally, the country’s music industry has been supported by initiatives like the Zimbabwe Music Awards, which recognize and reward outstanding artists and contributions to the industry.

As the industry continues to grow, we can expect to see more exciting developments and collaborations from Zimbabwean artists!
