As the 2026 winter season has already started, this week we want to congratulate both Moroccan singer Hind Ziadi and Moroccan R&B and Afro-urban singer and songwriter Aminux for an amazing achievement as they score their first Lebanese Number One on The Official Lebanese Top 20 with “Marhba Bikom” produced by the world-renowned multi-Grammy winner RedOne. 
The song was created as a patriotic tribute to Morocco, specifically released as part of the massive album project Allah Al Watan Al Malik (God, the Homeland, the King). The track served as a welcoming anthem for the African Cup of Nations (CAN 2025), which Morocco hosted. Its title, "Marhba Bikom," translates to "Welcome to You," directly addressing visitors and football fans to Morocco.
Within weeks of its release in late 2025, the song gained significant traction across the MENA region, receiving exclusive radio play on the major regional stations as well as all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Anghami..

From the 5 New Entries on this week’s OLT20 20, the highest one “Time for Africa” comes in at Number 9 and is also part of the official music for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), blending modern African rhythms with international pop energy to promote a message of unity. Another New Entry at Number 16 is “Players”, a high-energy collaboration song featuring Nigerian artist Rema, Egyptian superstar Mohamed Ramadan, and Nigerian dancehall singer Patoranking. 
From the New Entries of the week note the presence of Lebanese singer Alaa Zalzali with “Ya Rabb Ya Sater” at Number 10 which is part of his album titled Alaa Zalzali 2026. 

Other songs performing well this week include "Kazdoura" at Number 4, a single by Syrian artist Nassif Zeytoun, released in collaboration with Abu Ward, "Keefo" at Number 5, a hit song by the Syrian singer Al Shami (whose real name is Abdul Rahman Fawaz), and "Badna Nroue" at Number 8, a song by Lebanese artist Haifa Wehbe (a pop track included in her EP titled Mega Haifa 2). 

On OLT20 this week we have 11 Local or Regional artists, and 9 Occidental ones.
