South African sensation Tyla continues to make waves in the global music scene as her hit single “PUSH 2 START” secures its position at number one on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart for an impressive tenth consecutive week. This achievement underscores Tyla’s growing influence and the widespread appeal of her music.
“PUSH 2 START” debuted on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart at number four on October 26, 2024, before ascending to the top spot on December 28, 2024, dethroning her previous hit, “Water.” The track’s sustained success highlights Tyla’s consistent ability to captivate audiences with her unique sound.
In addition to dominating the Afrobeats chart, “PUSH 2 START” made its entry into the Billboard Hot 100 at number 88, marking Tyla’s second solo appearance on this prestigious chart. This milestone places her alongside the legendary Miriam Makeba as one of the few African female artists to have multiple solo entries on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song’s international acclaim is further evidenced by its performance on various global charts. “PUSH 2 START” has reached number 70 on the Billboard Global 200, number 23 on the UK Singles Chart, and number three on the UK R&B Chart. These accomplishments reflect Tyla’s expanding global footprint and the universal resonance of her music.
In recognition of her remarkable achievements, Epic Records presented Tyla with a commemorative plaque in Los Angeles last month, celebrating the global success of her debut album and its deluxe edition, “Tyla+.” The album has been instrumental in propelling her to international stardom, with “PUSH 2 START” serving as a standout track that continues to captivate listeners worldwide.
Tyla’s ascent in the music industry exemplifies the rising prominence of African artists on the global stage. Her innovative fusion of Afrobeats with contemporary sounds has not only garnered her chart-topping hits but has also paved the way for future artists from the continent to gain international recognition.
As “PUSH 2 START” continues its reign atop the charts, fans and industry observers eagerly anticipate what Tyla will deliver next, confident that her unique artistry will continue to break barriers and set new records in the music world.
