• Bebe Cool has announced the release of the Bebe Cool List 2025, set for January 1, 2026.

• The list will rank top artists and songs, with 60% based on his opinion and 40% from fans.

• Previous editions sparked backlash from artists like Pallaso, King Saha, and B2C, raising expectations of fresh debate.

Singer Big Size Bebe Cool has announced plans to release his much-anticipated Bebe Cool List 2025, once again putting the spotlight on Uganda’s music industry.

Taking to his social media platforms, the Gagamel boss revealed that the annual list, which ranks standout artists and songs, will officially drop on January 1, 2026.

“BEBE COOL LIST 2025 LOADING…. Happy holidays to you all! I hope 2025 has treated you well, and I wish you a prosperous 2026,” Bebe Cool wrote.
He added, “It’s that time of the year again—a tradition where we shine a spotlight on musicians who, in my opinion, have stood out and made significant contributions to the music industry in 2025.”

Bebe Cool explained that, just like previous editions, the list will be partly influenced by fans. According to him, his personal judgment and that of his team will account for 60 percent, while fans will contribute the remaining 40 percent through public engagement.

“As usual, my opinion (and my team’s) counts for 60%, while you, the fans, bring the energy with 40%. Get into the comments and tell us who your favorite artists and songs of 2025 are, and why,” he stated.

The Wire Wire singer has been releasing the list for several years, and it has consistently stirred debate within the music fraternity. Known for his outspoken and controversial personality, Bebe Cool’s rankings often spark mixed reactions, with some artists welcoming the recognition while others feel unfairly judged.

In the past, musicians such as Pallaso, King Saha, and the B2C Entertainment duo have publicly criticized the list, accusing Bebe Cool of bias and downplaying their achievements. Despite the criticism, the list has remained a major talking point among fans and industry players alike.

As anticipation builds ahead of its release, many are waiting to see whether the Bebe Cool List 2025 will once again ignite controversy or usher in a more balanced conversation about Uganda’s music scene.
