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.

(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.
