Eight weeks after first bringing her viral hit, ‘Water,’ to the shores of American Pop charts, South African songstress Tyla has sailed to her first top 10 placement on the Hot 100.
Already a top 20 hit by its lonesome thanks to enduring streams, digital downloads, and visibility on Tik Tok courtesy of a viral dance challenge, Tyla doused the sizzling, Sammy Soso-produced cut with even more fuel by unveiling two remixes (assisted by chart-toppers Marshmello and Travis Scott respectively) on November 17.
The weeklong commercial performance of those versions alongside the original gave just the push needed to hoist the hit to #10 on the refreshed Hot 100. Here are the numbers that powered the new placement.
- Streaming: 14.4 million U.S.-based streams
- Radio: 38.4 million airplay audience
- Sales: 2,000 digital downloads
With the ascension Tyla becomes the youngest South African performer (and first female) to have a top 10 hit on the all-genre chart.
Among all musical performers from the country, Hugh Masekela remains the tally’s highest charter as his 1968 hit, ‘Grazing in the Grass,’ was planted at #3 at the height of its popularity.
