South African singer Tyla’s song “Water” has hit No. 1 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, ending the 58-week run of Rema and Selena Gomez’s song “Calm Down.”

“Water” is Tyla’s breakthrough single, and it has been quickly gaining popularity since its release in July 2023. The song is an Afrobeat tune with a catchy dance choreography that has been trending on social media.

Tyla’s achievement is even more impressive considering that she is a relatively new artist. She has only been releasing music for a few years, but she has already made a big impact on the Afrobeats scene.

Tyla’s success is a result of her growing popularity of Afrobeats music in the United States. Afrobeats is a genre of music that originated in West Africa, and it has become increasingly popular in recent years.

The success of artists like Tyla, Rema, Tems, Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy is helping to introduce Afrobeats music to a wider audience.

Congratulations to Tyla on her No. 1 hit!
