Tyla’s latest single, ‘Chanel’, has made music history.\u00a0The song debuted at No.1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.<\/p>\n
It also reached the top spot on the UK’s Official Afrobeats Chart, knocking Arya Starr <\/a>and Rema<\/a>‘s ‘Who’s Dat Girl’ off the poll position.<\/p>\n Moliy’s ‘Body Go<\/a>‘ featuring Tyla is also featured in the top 10 of the UK chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 23-year-old is reportedly the first artist to have a song simultaneously debut #1 on both singles charts.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tyla co-wrote the ‘Chanel’ with Ian Kirkpatrick,\u00a0Douglas Ford,\u00a0Bardriia Bourelly and\u00a0P2J.\u00a0<\/p>\n The catchy song<\/a> has gone viral on TikTok, with stars like Ciara participating in the ‘Chanel’ dance challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It’s not the first time Ciara has taken on a viral Tyla dance. In 2023, a pregnant Ciara nailed the ‘Water’ dance challenge.<\/p>\n ‘Chanel’ was the talk of social media before its October 24 debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n American rapper Yung Miami, whose real name is Caresha Romeka Brownle, accused Tyla of stealing the concept of the song<\/a> from her.<\/p>\n Yung Miami claimed she played Tyla her song. Her song’s lyrics say “take me to Chanel” while Tyla’s version is “put me in Chanel”.<\/p>\n While the songs don’t sound anything alike, Yung Miami<\/a>\u00a0is convinced the South African singer “ran off” with her song.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tyla has not addressed the rapper’s claims. The singer is the queen of the Afrobeats charts.\u00a0<\/p>\n In 2024, ‘Water’ was the number one song on the ‘Billboard Year-End U.S.\u00a0Afrobeats Songs of 2024’ list.\u00a0<\/p>\n Her singles, ‘Truth or Dare’, ‘Jump’ and ‘ART’ also featured in the top 10. Tyla was also the #1 Afrobeats artist of 2024 ahead of Tems, Rema, Burna Boy, Asake and Arya Starr.<\/p>\n Tyla shows no signs of slowing down. The ‘Push 2 Start’ hitmaker is currently working on her sophomore album.\u00a0<\/p>\n The follow-up to her debut self-titled album is said to be a lot different from her previous music.<\/p>\n “When the album comes, it\u2019s going to be such a totally different vibe than what people are expecting,” she told Variety<\/a> in August.<\/p>\n For now, Tyla is gearing up for her sold-out ‘We Wanna Party’ tour of Asia. The tour, which is named after her ‘WWP’ EP, kicks off in Tokyo, Japan, on November 11.<\/p>\n She will also visit cities in Thailand, China, Indonesia, Singapore, India, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n Tyla,\u00a0Damiano David and Nile Rodgers’ single, ‘Talk To Me’, is currently #6 on the ECR Top 40 With Styles (powered by Pick n Pay)<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Listen to the ECR Top 40 every Saturday from 10am to 2pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Image credit: YouTube\/Tyla<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
