    Tyla’s track ‘Water‘ has achieved a significant milestone on the Billboard Hot 100, approaching the record set by Rema. The international success of ‘Water,’ propelled by the Travis Scott-assisted remix, has propelled it to a new peak at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, maintaining its presence on the chart for 14 weeks.

    This accomplishment extends Tyla’s record as the highest-charting lead female African artist. Following its entry into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, ‘Water‘ joins the prestigious company of Wizkid’s ‘Essence‘ and Rema’s ‘Calm Down‘ as songs by African artists that have reached the top 10.

    Since its release, ‘Water‘ has experienced a steady ascent, fueled by its popularity on TikTok, where millions of users were captivated by its infectious melody and catchy dance moves.

    Tyla’s No. 7 peak brings her closer to Rema’s No. 3 peak on the Billboard Hot 100, which stands as a 21st-century African record, surpassed only by the chart-topping 1968 Jazz record ‘Grazing In The Grass‘ by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela.

    ‘Water‘ by Tyla is now in contention for the Best African Performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards, showcasing its sustained global commercial success.
