Tyla Bags Her Third No. 1 on U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart With ‘Chanel’

Tyla storms in at No. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart as “Chanel” bags the top spot of the list dated Nov. 8. The new champ, an Afrobeat, amapiano and pop composition, namechecks the iconic designer brand and centers on the repeated lyrical refrain “Say you love me, put me in Chanel.” It leads the streaming and sales-based ranking and becomes Tyla’s third leader on the chart, which launched in April 2022.

“Chanel,” released on FAX/Epic Records, traces its chart-topping entrance to 2.1 million official streams and a few hundred song downloads in the United States for the tracking week of Oct. 24-30, according to Luminate. Among other starts, “Chanel” begins at No. 5 on the World Digital Song Sales chart and has international appeal, debuting at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Afrobeats Chart.

With “Chanel,” Tyla achieves her third No. 1 on Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs. She first regined with the crossover hit “Water,” which dominated for 55 weeks on the tally in 2023-24 as it soared to No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. The singer-songwriter’s second No. 1 “Push 2 Start,” ruled for 20 frames in 2024-25. Notably, both prior leaders still have a presence on the newest chart: “Water” rests at No. 3, while “Push 2 Start” is at No. 5.

As “Chanel” captures the crown, it knocks MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea’s “Shake It to the Max (Fly)” from No. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. The former champ, which led for the last 25 weeks, slides to No. 2.

Despite their battle for the No. 1 spot, MOLIY and Tyla combine forces for another debut on this week’s Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. Their collaboration, “Body Go,” starts at No. 9 largely through 325,000 official streams. With the start, Tyla claims her 15th top 10 on the chart, while MOLIY earns her second visit to the upper tier.
