From May 1st to Oct 1st, 2025.
This Shazam chart is more than just a list of popular tracks; it's a sonic map of the 2025 Ibiza season, revealing the definitive sounds and emerging trends that dominated the island's most legendary dance floors.
The most striking trend is the undeniable ascent of Afro House, which Shazam explicitly labels as a leading growth genre. Its soulful, rhythmic grooves provided the quintessential soundtrack, resonating through everything from the tranquil Balearic sunset bars to the peak-time chaos of the underground clubs.
The list is heavily weighted by this global phenomenon, with three key tracks from the top ten defining the sound:
Vanco – "Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi)" [feat. AYA]: The most Shazamed track of the summer is a pure Afro House anthem. Its title, blending Arabic and Swahili phrases, reflects the track's fusion of African rhythms and Middle Eastern vocal hooks, making it an infectious, sun-drenched favourite.
MoBlack & Salif Keïta – "Yamore": An exceptional collaboration that blends the legendary Malian artist Salif Keïta with the modern Afro House sound of MoBlack, creating a deep, resonant track with a powerful, timeless vocal that connects with the club's soul.
Rampa, Adam Port & &ME – "Say What" [feat. chuala]: A signature release from the influential Keinemusik collective, this track delivers a masterclass in atmospheric, groovy Afro House.
Tech House, Future House, and Pop-Dance Contenders
While Afro House commanded the overall trend, the rest of the chart shows a dynamic mix of sub-genres driving different parts of the Ibiza experience:
"Can’t Decide": - Max Dean, Luke Dean & Locky | Tech House | A driving, energetic cut that defined the warehouse and main room floors with a raw, insistent groove.
"Like I Like It":- Mau P; Tech House - A powerful, instantly recognizable track that affirms Mau P's position as a modern Tech House titan, built for massive club moments.
"Too Cool To Be Careless": - PAWSA | House / Tech House | A classic-sounding House track with a catchy, re-worked R&B vocal sample, proving that simple, effective grooves still dominate the island's parties.
"Verano en NY": - Toman | Minimal / Tech House | Translating to 'Summer in NY,' this track adds a Latin-tinged flavour to the Dutch Minimal/Tech House sound, capturing the island's diverse crowd.
"I Adore You":- HUGEL, Topic & Arash | Afro-Latin House / Pop Dance | A highly infectious, globally-appealing track that masterfully blends Afro-Latin elements with commercial pop sensibility, popular in beach clubs and for mass appeal.
"Edge of Desire":- Jonas Blue & Malive - House - Dance - A progressive, vocal-driven dance track that brought a euphoric, mainstage energy to the sunset strip and festival-sized venues.
"Blessings": - Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas; Chill House , Dance - A lush, soulful house anthem with a nostalgic, '90s-inspired vibe, perfect for the laid-back, sun-drenched pool parties and closing sets.
Shaping the Global Landscape
The Shazam data from Ibiza offers a crucial insight into tracks that moved crowds organically, suggesting they are set to shape global dance music trends well into the following year. The immediate identification of these songs in the heat of a club or beach party underscores their impact, confirming that the rhythms of Africa are now essential to the future sound of global electronic music.
