South African DJ and producer duo TxC continue to prove that their sound knows no borders. The rising stars are celebrating a major international milestone after their hit single “Nakupenda” officially charted at number 10 on the Afrobeats UK Chart, marking a significant moment in their rapidly growing global journey.
Taking to Instagram to share their excitement, TxC expressed both gratitude and disbelief at the achievement. “UK 🇬🇧 Top 10. Seeing TxC on this chart gives me anxiety woah! A big thank you to yall! To more W’s & BANGERS! 🔊❤️,” they wrote. The heartfelt message resonated with fans who have been supporting the duo from South Africa to international markets.
“Nakupenda” is a powerful collaborative effort that brings together some of Africa’s most exciting talents. The track features Davido, Zlatan, Shoday, Scotts Maphuma, and AL Xapo, a lineup that blends Afrobeats, Amapiano, and street-inspired sounds seamlessly. Each artist brings a unique flavour to the song, creating a vibrant, cross-continental anthem that has clearly connected with audiences abroad.
The song’s success on the Afrobeats UK Chart reflects TxC’s ability to position themselves at the intersection of African genres, making music that travels effortlessly across borders. The duo’s production style, known for its high energy and club-ready appeal, has helped “Nakupenda” gain traction in clubs, playlists, and radio rotations beyond South Africa.
While the UK top 10 placement is a major win, it’s not the only market where TxC are seeing success. The duo has also been charting strongly in Nigeria, further cementing their presence in one of Africa’s most influential music scenes. This growing international recognition highlights how Amapiano continues to evolve and merge with Afrobeats on a global scale.
TxC’s rise comes at a time when South African artists are increasingly dominating international charts, and their latest achievement adds to that narrative. Charting in the UK — a key global music market — signals new opportunities for touring, collaborations, and further global exposure.
As celebrations continue, TxC remain focused on building momentum. Their message to fans makes it clear that this is just the beginning. With “Nakupenda” opening doors and more music expected, the duo’s journey from local favourites to global contenders is unfolding in real time.
