List of number-one Te Reo Māori singles from the 2020s

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The inaugural number one single was "Tua" by Stan Walker, a Te Reo Māori version of his song "Bigger" performed with his niece Ibanez Maeva.[1]
Dunedin band Six60 released "Pepeha" to coincide with Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2021, created alongside Hinewehi Mohi, who worked with the band in 2019 to create "Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō", a Te Reo version of their single "Don't Forget Your Roots" for the album Waiata / Anthems (2019).[2]

This is the Recorded Music NZ list of number-one singles in New Zealand sung in Te Reo Māori during the 2020s decade (the Te Reo Māori O Te Rārangi 10 O Runga chart, also known as the Top 10 Te Reo Māori Singles). The first chart was released on 19 June 2021.[3] The chart was launched to celebrate musicians releasing songs in Te Reo Māori, and in order to be eligible, a song needs be sung in at least 70% Māori.[3] Songs are tracked on the chart using sales, streaming and airplay.[4]
