Lordkez’s “Aweh” Sets Pace For 2026 With Record Airplay Milestone. The year may still be settling into its groove, but one track has already taken full control of South Africa’s airwaves. Lordkez’s silky R&B hit “Aweh” has carved its name into the record books, becoming the first R&B release of 2026 to surpass the 3,000-airplay mark on radio nationwide, according to TheTableChart.
So far this year, the song has racked up an impressive 3,020,000 spins across 88 stations, translating into a massive 199.97 million radio impacts. In simple terms, it is everywhere. From morning commutes to late-night wind-downs, “Aweh” has become part of the country’s daily soundtrack.
Although the track first arrived in 2025, its rise in 2026 has been nothing short of explosive. Built on smooth vocals and a relaxed groove infused with unmistakable local flavour, “Aweh” feels both intimate and widely relatable. Its title, drawn from South African slang used to greet or express excitement, mirrors the reaction it continues to spark among listeners.
The SA music scene has watched the song’s steady climb with fascination. It did not rely on a quick spike in popularity. Instead, it grew week by week, station by station. Earlier in the year, it crossed the 2,000-airplay milestone and dominated January alone with over 73 million impacts. Since then, it has refused to slow down.
Behind the success is an artist who has been steadily building her presence. Lordkez has earned a loyal audience through her authentic blend of modern R&B and soulful local influences. “Aweh” has also expanded beyond radio, inspiring remixes, including one featuring Cassper Nyovest, and gaining traction on TikTok, where it continues to reach new listeners.
