Ghanaian singer MOLIY and producer Silent Addy have earned their first No. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart with “Shake It To the Max (Fly),” a remix featuring Jamaican stars Skillibeng and Shenseea. The song reached the top spot on the May 16, 2025 chart, ending the five-month reign of Tyla’s “Push 2 Start”.

The song, originally released in November 2024, gained momentum through a viral TikTok dance challenge. Its 2025 remix fuses Afrobeats and dancehall, led by Skillibeng’s opening verse and Shenseea’s bold delivery.

It currently ranks No. 3 on the World Digital Song Sales chart.

With a cameo from Elephant Man in its music video, “Shake It To the Max” blends Ghanaian-American and Jamaican influences, marking a major moment in Afrobeats’ continued global rise.
