Tyla Afrobeats No 1: She Makes History

Tyla is officially making waves on the music charts once again. The South African superstar just earned another massive milestone in the United States. First, her brand-new song “Is It Love” just secured the top spot on the charts. Therefore, she has officially extended her record as a historic musical force.

Behind the Streaming Numbers

The hit song made a massive jump from the number 25 spot all the way to number one. Next, it achieved this feat after its very first full week of tracking. However, the data reveals a very interesting story behind this sudden spike.

In reality, almost all of the success for the song came from 2 million official streams. Furthermore, the track had a very tiny amount of actual music sales. This means intense fan streaming completely carried the track to the top spot.

Corporate Spin or Real Star Power?

This new win marks her fourth time reaching the peak of this specific chart. Previously, her smash hit “Water” dominated the top spot for a historic 55 weeks. Next, she found great success with her follow-up tracks “Push 2 Start” and “Chanel.” Only one other artist has topped this specific chart more than once.

Ultimately, her record label is working very hard to keep her name in the news. They are currently pushing three different singles on the radio at the exact same time. This aggressive strategy aims to build major hype before her new album drops on July 24. You can track her current chart standings directly on the official Billboard platform.
