The Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart welcomes a new No. 1 – and first new leader of 2025 – as MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea’s “Shake It to the Max (FLY)” remix rises from the runner-up spot to rule the list dated May 17.

With its ascent, “Shake It to the Max” unseats Tyla’s “Push 2 Start” from the summit after the latter’s domination for 20 consecutive frames. As “Push 2 Start” began its run on the final chart of 2024 (Dec. 28), it was, until this week, the only song to reign on U.S. Afrobeats Songs this year.

“Shake It to the Max” was first released in November 2024 with MOLIY and producer Silent Addy as credited artists on the track. The song generated momentum through social media after its remix dropped in March, which added Skillibeng and Shenseea to the tune, and sparked a viral dance challenge. (All versions are combined into one listing for data reporting and chart rankings.)

For its coronation on the sales and streaming-based U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, “Shake It to the Max” registered 2.9 million official U.S. streams and 500 sales downloads in the tracking week of May 2-8, according to Luminate.

Thanks to the new champ, all four artists achieve a first No. 1 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. MOLIY and Silent Addy realize the feat with their maiden entries on the list, while Skillibeng and Shenseea each top the chart on their third visit. Skillibeng previously earned a No. 3 best in April 2024 for “Jump” with Tyla and Gunna; Shenseea, as a featured act on Fireboy DML and Chris Brown’s “Diana,” previously reached a No. 17 peak.

In addition to its viral success, the song is making inroads in the U.S. radio landscape. The single jumps 33-26 in its third week on the Rhythmic Airplay chart with a 48% jump in plays for the tracking week compared with the week prior, and debuts at No. 34 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (up 53%).

Stateside gains mirror the song’s wide international appeal. It improves on both the Billboard Global 200 (136-111 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (95-81), while the song’s original version tops the U.K.’s Official Afrobeats Chart for a seventh consecutive week.
