Kofi Mole’s “Balotelli (Supa)” has climbed to number one in Ghana, topping Apple Music’s Top 25: Accra chart ten weeks after it was released.
The Kumasi rapper celebrated on Instagram on Sunday with a carousel of chart screenshots and a short caption: “Balotelli ! Ballin on the charts! Thank you 🫶🏿 #1 🚀”. Within an hour the post had passed 1,900 likes.
Kofi Mole’s “Balotelli (Supa)” on top of the charts
The screenshots show the song in first place on five lists at once. On Apple Music it leads both Top 25: Accra and the Top 200 for the whole of Ghana. It is also number one on Audiomack’s Ghana Top Songs chart, first on Boomplay’s Top Searched songs and top of the popular Top 100: Ghana on Spotify 2026 playlist.
The song it pushed aside is a familiar one. Kweku Smoke and Lasmid’s “Faith” now sits second on Apple Music’s Accra chart, with Kweku Smoke’s “Bra” third and O’Kenneth’s “REPAIR” and “ME NSAN” behind them. On Audiomack, Kweku Smoke appears in each of the next three places.
From outside the top 30 to number one
“Balotelli (Supa)” was never an overnight hit. It opened 4 DA POPPIN’, the EP Kofi Mole released on 4 September, and spent its first weeks outside the top 30. By late October it had worked its way up to number four, the only song in that top nine not by Kweku Smoke, as we reported in From Outside the Top 30 to No. 4.
The timing helped. On Friday, Olympique de Marseille set a reel of Mario Balotelli’s goals to the song on TikTok, and the striker replied with a single word: “LISTEN”. That clip passed 385,000 views in nine hours. Two days later the song was number one at home.
“I’m coming for you, Supa”
The congratulations came quickly, including from one of the artists chasing him. Fameye, whose “Gen Z” is fifth on the Audiomack chart, wrote under the post: “I’m coming for you Supa!! Big congratulations”. Sister Deborah answered with a single “Supa” and a football emoji.
It is a big moment for a rapper who has been one of the most consistent names in Ghanaian hip-hop since “Mensah” with Kwesi Arthur in 2018. Born Edward Kofi Agyemang Amoah, he has kept busy this autumn, including five songs with Quamina MP in nine weeks. With “Balotelli (Supa)”, he has the biggest song in the country under his own name.
