Thatohatsi, Sjava and Shaunmusiq are celebrating a major milestone after their collaboration, “Ama Hem Hem,” officially surpassed 10 million views on YouTube in just two months.
Released on 10 July 2026, the Amapiano hit has continued to attract listeners and viewers, cementing its position as one of the notable releases to make an impact on the South African music scene this year.
The song’s latest achievement highlights its sustained popularity on YouTube, where it has maintained a strong presence since its release. Reaching 10 million views within such a short period marks another significant moment for the three artists, whose collaboration has resonated with audiences across the country.
“Ama Hem Hem” has also enjoyed an impressive run on South Africa’s weekly YouTube music chart. The track spent 11 weeks on the chart, demonstrating its staying power and continued appeal among local music fans.
During its chart run, the song climbed into the Top 5, recording more than 1.3 million views in a single week. That performance underlined the momentum behind the release and its ability to attract substantial attention from listeners.
For Thatohatsi, the achievement adds to the growing recognition she has received as one of the exciting voices in the Amapiano scene. Her contribution to the track further showcases her ability to connect with audiences through collaborations with established artists.
Sjava’s involvement brings another dimension to the collaboration, drawing on his experience and distinctive musical identity. Meanwhile, Shaunmusiq’s contribution helps anchor the track in the Amapiano sound that continues to dominate dance floors and streaming platforms.
The success of “Ama Hem Hem” also reflects the important role YouTube plays in the South African music industry. For artists, reaching millions of views provides a visible measure of audience engagement, while strong weekly numbers can help keep a song in the spotlight long after its initial release.
With its 10-million-view milestone, “Ama Hem Hem” now joins the growing list of South African songs to reach the impressive figure on the platform.
The achievement is a testament to the collaboration’s continued reach and the support it has received from fans over the past two months.
