Tyla adds her fourth No. 1 on Billboard ’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart with “Is It Love,” which crowns the list dated July 4, surging from No. 25 after its first full tracking week. The fusion track, released on FAX Records/Epic Records, rallies to the top of the multimetric list, which combines streaming and sales data into one singular ranking. For the corresponding tracking week of June 19-25, nearly all “Is It Love” activity was powered by its 2 million official streams, with a negligible amount of sales action, according to Luminate.

She followed with “Push 2 Start,” a 20-week champ in 2024-25, and notched a third leader with “Chanel,” which clocked a 24-week stay in the penthouse in 2025-26. With a fourth champ, Tyla extends her mark as the artist with the most No. 1s on Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs since the chart launched in April 2022. Only one other artist has topped the chart more than once: Tems, with two leaders. “Is It Love” and “Chanel” will appear on Tyla’s forthcoming second studio album, A*Pop , due July 24. It follows her 2024 self-titled release, which topped the World Albums chart for five weeks. Elsewhere, “Is It Love” also debuts at No. 18 on the Hot R&B Songs chart to become Tyla’s 10th appearance on that multi-metric list, a combination of streaming, airplay and sales data. Its appeal is also evident in other markets, notably with its No. 3 entrance on the U.K.’s Official Afrobeats Chart . In addition to “Is It Love,” Tyla continues to work two other active singles. A*Pop cut “She Did It Again” with Zara Larsson adds an eighth week on Pop Airplay , though it reverses 27-28. A collaboration with Future, “Game Time (FIFA World Cup 2026),” meanwhile, debuts at No. 48 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs , while climbing 38-31 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay .
