The Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart welcomes a new No. 1 – and first new leader of 2025 – as MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea's 'Shake It to the Max (FLY)' remix rises from the runner-up spot to rule the list dated May 17. 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.

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.
