Same Chart. Still Fire. Second Week at the Top. π₯
Due to last week’s special edition of Track Talk, the TSA Radio Charts took a brief pause—but the music didn’t stop moving.
This week, we’re airing the official chart results from the previous cycle—unchanged, but still packing severe heat. This means the top 3 records are maintaining their second consecutive week in their respective positions, and the energy remains high.
Greezy holds down the #1 spot again with his smooth, soulful anthem "Come Back to Me"—an instant classic that’s proving its staying power.
ZULO remains at #2 with "Sweeter Success", featuring the sharp touch of UPZ, delivering motivation with South African flair.
Kronan & Makadem stay strong at #3 with "Maisha", continuing their impressive run after dominating the top spot earlier this season.
π‘ This is the second week these tracks are riding high—no changes, just consistency and quality doing the talking.
