The gospel song “Bulelani Uyehova Hymn (Live)” by South African artist Ncebakazi Msomi has achieved a landmark milestone. The track is the first by Msomi to stay on the Spotify Daily Viral Chart South Africa for nine consecutive days. Recently it rose five positions to reach number 78 on the chart.
This accomplishment indicates growing interest and engagement among listeners. Viral charts on Spotify measure more than raw streams. They also account for recent increases in plays, shares, and the number of new listeners discovering a song.
Live gospel recordings increasingly show their strength on digital platforms. Other gospel artists have also entered the same daily chart with live tracks, highlighting a trend in listener preference for authentic, performance-driven recordings.
The success of “Bulelani Uyehova Hymn (Live)” reflects shifting listener behaviour in South Africa. Gospel fans respond strongly to heartfelt live performances. The chart performance may draw more attention to Msomi’s work and encourage more gospel artists to release live recordings. It also broadens the visibility of gospel music beyond traditional radio or church audiences.
This milestone may mark a turning point for gospel streaming in South Africa. If momentum continues, gospel recordings could claim a larger share of the digital charts. For now, “Bulelani Uyehova Hymn (Live)” has shown that live gospel can compete with mainstream tracks in the streaming era.
