Ghanaian Afrobeat and highlife artiste Muzic Mensah is steadily emerging as one of the standout names of 2025, with his single \u2018Ankwanoma\u2019<\/em> gaining strong momentum across streaming platforms, broadcast media and social spaces.<\/p>\n

Since its release, Ankwanoma<\/em> has crossed 470,000 combined streams on major digital platforms, including Boomplay, Apple Music, Spotify, Audiomack and YouTube.<\/p>\n

Boomplay accounts for the bulk of the numbers, with over 400,000 streams, while the song peaked at number 15 on the platform\u2019s Top 100 Chart. It also secured a Top 10 mid-year ranking in Ghana and a Top 20 mid-year ranking in Nigeria for 2025, reflecting its cross-border appeal.<\/p>\n

Beyond streaming, the song has made a notable impact on social media and radio. Ankwanoma<\/em> has been used in more than 15,000 TikTok videos, while clocking over 20,000 Apple Music radio spins, signalling consistent airplay support and growing editorial attention.<\/p>\n

Muzic Mensah has supported the record with an extensive 20-stop media tour, spanning radio stations, television platforms and podcast appearances across the country.<\/p>\n

The sustained visibility has helped keep the song in active conversation months after its release, positioning it as one of the most recognisable records of the year.<\/p>\n

Produced and engineered by Y Shart Beatz, with visuals directed by Mista Morgan, Ankwanoma<\/em> features Kwame Yogot and blends Amapiano-inspired Afrobeat with Highlife elements.<\/p>\n

The fusion offers a modern sound that remains grounded in Ghanaian musical traditions, a balance that has resonated strongly with listeners.<\/p>\n

The song\u2019s success has also translated into awards momentum. Muzic Mensah recently picked up six nominations at the GMA USA, a development that points to growing international recognition and further strengthens his case ahead of the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards.<\/p>\n

With solid streaming numbers, chart presence, strong media support and expanding international attention, Ankwanoma<\/em> has firmly established itself as a breakout record for 2025.<\/p>\n

For Muzic Mensah, the run of the song marks a defining moment in his career and places him in serious contention for recognition across key TGMA categories this year.<\/p>\n
