See You Tonight by Cindy, Omega 256 Tops #1 Spot on YouTube

How many views is See You Tonight getting per day?

Ugandan music lovers are abuzz as Cindy Sanyu and Omega 256’s latest collaboration “See You Tonight” dominates the charts. Just five days after its release, the song has shot to number one on YouTube Uganda, drawing in over 100,000 views a day. At the time of writing, it’s already surpassed 580,000 views—and still climbing.

Cindy fanned the flames of excitement with her official X (formerly Twitter) post:

“Taking over the #1 spot. It’s a different feeling when the views are real. Thank you my fans and Omega256. Always representing.”

The phrase “when the views are real” sparked a flurry of speculation and commentary—especially in light of her historic rivalry with fellow Ugandan star Sheebah Karungi. Yet Cindy named no names, and many fans see her post as a celebration of genuine success and connection with her audience.

The track itself stands out with style and energy. It opens with a nostalgic nod to Kat De Luna’s Am I Dreaming, featuring the catchy “oh way, oh way, oh way, oh” chant that hooks listeners instantly. Cindy’s powerful delivery meshed with Omega 256’s distinctive energy gives the song a dynamic vibe—tailor-made for clubs, live events, and viral social media trends. Unsurprisingly, it’s already taken off on TikTok, amassing over 2.5 million views through dance challenges and creative clips.

“The Royal Experience” Concert — August 29 at Millennium Grounds, Lugogo

But the excitement doesn’t stop there: Cindy is stoking anticipation for her upcoming live spectacle, “The Royal Experience,” set to take place on August 29, 2025, at Millennium Grounds, Lugogo. This major show, backed by Next Media, promises surprises, high-end production, and a fusion of live band performance with her signature dancehall energy. Tickets are already selling, and fans are gearing up for one of the year’s most talked-about concerts.

A Legacy of Competition — And Celebration — with Sheebah Karungi

Cindy and Sheebah have built a storied rivalry that’s become part of Uganda’s pop culture fabric. In past “battle” concerts—where both headlined the same events—fans have watched closely as each delivered high-energy performances, and industry insiders often lauded these shows as powerful examples of women commanding major crowds together, even amid fierce competition. These events felt less like clashes and more like celebrations of female artistry in Uganda’s music scene.

Regardless of the competitive undertones, many have praised how these two icons have shown that talent, charisma, and star power can coexist—drawing fans across divides and elevating the live-music game in Kampala.

Spotlight: The Rise of Omega 256

Who is she? Omega 256—real name Shamim Murerwa—has risen from Western Uganda to become one of the country’s most dynamic voices in music today. Born on September 27, 1999, in Kakoba, Mbarara, she began recording music around 2017, initially producing covers and studio samples. Her official breakthrough came in 2018 with the release of Ninterwa, followed by standout tracks like Weekend, Keeza, Deep In Love, and This Year.

Her decision to sing predominantly in Runyankore, her mother tongue, set her apart; she’s become known not just for her musical versatility but for elevating her cultural heritage on national stages. Recognized for her talent, she scooped up several awards in 2019—Western Artiste of the Year, Western Song of the Year, and Dancehall Song of the Year—before earning Best Song of the Year at South Africa’s Kwazulu-Natal Choice Awards in 2020.

Her path wasn’t without hurdles: a highly anticipated debut concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval in early 2025 was canceled amid organizational issues, yet she emerged resilient, doubling down on her craft and connection with fans. Today, she is celebrated as the “Queen of the West,” a title that resonates with her influence across Uganda’s music landscape and beyond.
