Additionally, the connectivity and digitisation pillar contextualises its growth from fewer than 800,000 playlists that featured Amapiano tracks in 2019 to just under 1.2 million playlists a year later, then to over 2 million playlists in 2021.
We would appreciate you telling the unique story of how the Amapiano genre has anchored on connectivity and digitisation in the past decade.
