Precise Digital is celebrating a standout 2025 for their partners, who have secured eleven of the Top 20 New Zealand singles and four of the Top 20 Te Reo Māori singles in Recorded Music NZ’s Official End Of Year Charts. The announcement tops off a defining year for the company and its partners, shaped by bold visions and waiata that resonated deeply with audiences across Aotearoa.

2025 saw breakthrough moments and continued momentum for Precise partners including Te Wehi, Hori Shaw, Myshaan, Tawaz, Lomez Brown, Son & Water, and House of Shem – a collective display of talent that speaks to the diversity and depth of the Aotearoa music landscape. The success is a reflection of both commercial impact and cultural connection, and of the trust and relationships that sit behind every release.

Additionally, Te Wehi and Hori Shaw are the only Aotearoa artists to feature in the National Top 50 singles chart, a rare achievement in the age of global music dominating NZ charts and a testament to their widespread appeal and impact.

As a Precise partner, artist Te Wehi says that having a team that supports his vision has made all the difference.

“The support I’ve received for my music this year has been incredible. I appreciate everybody listening and following my journey and I’m excited to bring new music and a new live show in 2026,” says Te Wehi.

Michael Giles, CEO of Precise Digital, says the successes are an added benefit to what a privilege it is for Precise to walk alongside partners who back their own vision and shape their own paths forward.

“We’re incredibly proud of all of our partners and what they’ve achieved this year. The trust they place in us means everything. Our focus has always been the long game – building sustainable careers and supporting artists to create a legacy that
they and their whānau can live off. We’re excited to continue that journey together with our partners into 2026, and beyond,” he says.

Precise Digital extends its congratulations to all Aotearoa artists on an outstanding year of music.
