As reported by RadioMonitor on 18 September 2025, “Joy” received 1.81 million impressions while under Jozi Entertainment, benefiting from enhanced radio support. The single, which first appeared in June 2022, has gained renewed interest, demonstrating that well-crafted music can remain relevant over the years with the right promotion.
Other prominent tracks currently on the chart include Ciza x Jazzworx x X-Th’s “Isaka (6 AM)” and Nasty C & Usimamane’s “Soft”, alongside international acts like Justin Timberlake and Tems. However, the rise of “Joy” is particularly significant for independent artists, highlighting the effects of perseverance, quality production, and meaningful collaborations.
In a recent social media post, AB Crazy shared his enthusiasm, stating: “Joy ft Nhlonipho made the Top 20 on SA radio this week. Bless me again 🙌🏼🇿🇦” — a remark that captures his gratitude and ambition to reach new heights. With increasing momentum and a return to national acclaim, “Joy” appears poised for further success, potentially advancing up the charts as audience interest continues to build.
