The final hours of the year deserve a say.
As the year draws to a close, RISE fm invites Mpumalanga to take part in a moment that belongs to the people. The Top One Hundred Songs countdown leads listeners through the soundtrack of the year, building toward the Ultimate Crossover, the one song that carries the province across the threshold into the new year.
This is not a passive countdown. The power to shape the final moment sits with you.
By voting for the crossover song, the audience determines which track becomes the bridge between the year that was and the year that awaits. Every vote becomes part of the collective heartbeat that defines the final seconds before midnight.
To vote, send the word crossover on WhatsApp to 072 885 7702.
On Wednesday, 31 December 2026, the energy builds live on air as the countdown reaches its final breath. As the clock tightens and anticipation rises, one voter will be called live on air and given the honour of revealing the number one song, the Ultimate Crossover that carries Mpumalanga into the new year.
Guiding the province through this defining broadcast will be TheBigZilla OnAir, Lerato Molefe, Tlotlang Moletsane, and Psyfer Maphike, bringing experience, energy, and connection to a moment that marks both reflection and renewal.
As the final song fades and the new year begins, RISE fm stands with Mpumalanga, counting down together, crossing over together, and stepping forward with a shared soundtrack for what comes next.
