Tyla’s global hit “Water” secured a spot in second place in the week of April 5, 2025, continuing his impressive run at Billboard US Afrobeats Songs Chart.
The South African sense solidified her place in the music industry with this infectious track. It first gained momentum in 2023 and has since become a staple of the Afrobeat scene around the world.
Since its release, Water has resonated with fans around the world, blending elements of Amapiano, combining Afrobeat and Tyra’s signature vocal streams.
The viability of songs on social media platforms like Tiktok, coupled with streaming success, drives it to important chart achievements, such as the Grammy Award victory at Best African Music Performance in 2024.
“Water” is stable at No. 2, but Tyla’s latest track, Push 2 Start, has surged to take the number one spot this week. This is an impressive milestone for the young artists who dominate the top two spots in the US Afrobeats Songs Chart.
Her continued presence in the top rankings shows her growing influence and demand for her distinct sound.
Tyla faces intense competition from other Afrobeat heavyweights along with Adam Port, Stryv and Camila Cabello, who have third-placed positions.
Lema’s “Baby Is It a Crime” continues closely at No. 4, with Ghanaian singer Moliy, along with Silent Addi, rounding out the top five with “Shake It To the Max Fly.”
Other notable appearances include Burna Boy’s “Update” on No. 10, a collaboration with Wizkid’s Brent Faiyaz, and “My Heart of My Heart.”
