Tyla is proving why she’s one of the hottest names in music right now. The South African superstar has achieved something no other artist has managed this year — holding three different songs in the top five of the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Her tracks “Dynamite” with Wizkid, “Push 2 Start” with Gunna, and her global smash “Water” are all sitting comfortably at the very top of the chart.
This achievement isn’t just a win for Tyla — it’s a win for African music on the global stage.
Which Tyla Songs Are in the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Top 5?
As of this week’s chart update, Tyla has:
“Dynamite” with Wizkid — a chart-topping anthem blending Afrobeats with smooth R&B vibes. “Push 2 Start” with Gunna — a cross-continental hit showing her versatility with rap and Afrobeats. “Water” — her Grammy-winning breakout track that’s still going strong worldwide.
Having three songs in the top 5 at the same time is rare. It shows that Tyla’s music is not only connecting with fans in Africa but also dominating the U.S. streaming scene.
Has Any Other Artist Achieved This in 2025?
No. Tyla is currently the only artist to have multiple songs in the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Top 5 every single week this year. Many artists have cracked the top 5, but none have been able to maintain multiple entries for weeks in a row.
This puts her in a unique position, as she’s setting a new standard for Afrobeats on the American market.
Why Is This Achievement Important?
Billboard charts are one of the main ways the music industry measures success. For Afrobeats — a genre still growing rapidly in the U.S. — having consistent placements in the top 5 is proof that the sound has gone global.
For Tyla, this milestone strengthens her status as not just an African star, but a global superstar. Her ability to cross over into pop, R&B, and hip hop while staying true to Afrobeats is what keeps her music in demand.
