DJ Shimza replied, “Unfortunately, South Africans choose who they support, sometimes not on merit but hype.”
“The Piano Market is way too saturated, we get about 10+ songs every week, then there’s albums, it’s too much, when do we get time to enjoy the music? We realistically can’t listen to new music every day Most people stick to a group of artists,” Twitter user El Poro wrote.
Tell us in the comment, what can be done to increase Amapiano’s number of streams?
