Freeman HKD has taken over the CloutBase Top 10, with five songs from his brand-new album The Notebook charting simultaneously this week, marking one of the strongest Zimdancehall showings of 2025. The album officially launched on October 25 in Harare, just days after its release, and has already shaken up Zimbabwe’s digital and radio charts.

According to the latest CloutBase Top 10 rankings, Freeman’s Bvira Vira and Tagwadama — both released on October 22 — have rocketed to the No. 2 and No. 4 spots respectively, while Falling in Love claims No. 3. Meanwhile, Tit 4 Tat and Ndikoko also entered strong at No. 6 and No. 10, completing an impressive Top 10 takeover for the HKD Boss.

Topping the chart this week is Nashie Zim’s “Kunge Ngirozi,” which continues its steady reign at No. 1 after debuting on September 30. However, Freeman’s five entries make him the week’s biggest mover, outpacing both established acts and newcomers in streaming and radio play.

Among the week’s risers, Jnr Spragga’s “How Far” made a late-week leap into No. 9 after its October 24 release, showing strong traction with dancehall and urban playlists. On the fallers side, Baba Harare’s “Couple of the Year,” which dominated earlier this month, slipped to No. 7, while Jah Prayzah’s “Ruzhowa” also dropped two spots to No. 8 after peaking mid-October.

Analysts say Freeman’s success reflects the staying power of Zimdancehall at a time when Zimbabwean hip-hop is drawing attention internationally through acts like Saintfloew. The genre’s loyal fan base, combined with Freeman’s consistency, has made The Notebook not just an album, but a moment — bridging old-school street riddims with modern melodies.

The album’s launch at Freeman’s sold-out Harare event drew thousands of fans and industry peers, proving his influence extends beyond charts into culture. With five charting tracks and growing online engagement, The Notebook looks set to define the sound of Zimbabwe’s final music quarter.

Released October 25 in Harare, The Notebook is already being hailed as one of Freeman’s biggest career wins — and proof that Zimdancehall still rules the local music scene.
