Faceless AI artist The Second Voice logs a seventh consecutive week at #1 on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart as “Let Me Be” refuses to loosen its grip on the summit. The track which has surpassed 51 million streams on Spotify, leads the June 20 tally after 16 weeks on the chart, holding off some of Afrobeats’ biggest names.
Behind it, Tyla continues her chart run with “Water” at #2 and “Chanel” at #3, while MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea’s “Shake It To The Max (Fly)” lands at #4. Newcomer DJ Goja crashes the Top 5 with debut entry “Mi Chico.”
Asake remains a major force, placing three songs in the Top 10, including “Forgiveness” (#6), “Gratitude” (#8) and “MCBH” (#10). Blaqbonez and Asake’s “Chanel” moves to #7, while Jubet’s “Hardest Truth” stays put at #9.
Across the pond, “Let Me Be” continues to post impressive numbers on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart, where it sits at #2 for a ninth week after previously reaching #1. The song trails only Tyla and Zara Larsson’s “She Did It Again,” which logs an eighth consecutive week atop the tally.
Compiled by the Official Charts Company using UK sales and streaming data, the latest chart sees “Let Me Be” maintaining its runner-up position ahead of Blaqbonez and Asake’s “Chanel” (#3), Asake’s “Forgiveness” (#4) and BNXN & Sarz’s “Back Outside” (#5). Elsewhere in the Top 10, new entries arrive from Kojo Funds and Jay Silva (“79”), Victony (“Fresh”) and Aya Nakamura and Skepta (“Chippie”), while Young Jonn’s “Elumelu” climbs to a new peak at #9.
And after seven weeks at #1 in the U.S., Warner’s recent investment in AI is Spinnin’ Records.
