“Shake It to the Max (Fly) Remix” is doing far more than shaking up dance floors—it’s shaking up the charts. The vibrant collaboration featuring Ghanaian-American songstress Moliy, Miami-based producer Silent Addy, and Jamaican stars Shenseea and Skillibeng is now charting on 15 different charts across seven countries and global markets, a rare feat that underscores the track’s explosive global appeal. Since the video’s premiere just over a month ago, it has amassed over 28 million views on YouTube, a testament to its genre-blending power and magnetic visuals.
The song has climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, toppling Tyla’s “Push 2 Start” after a 30-week reign. Other major U.S. placements include No. 42 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, No. 34 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and No. 26 on the Rhythmic Top 40. Globally, it holds strong at No. 26 on the UK Singles Chart, while also topping the UK Afrobeats Chart and securing No. 3 on the UK Hip-Hop/R&B Singles Chart. In Canada, it sits at No. 63 on the Canadian Hot 100, and despite a slight dip, it’s still present at No. 71 on the Irish Singles Chart. Other international placements include No. 32 in Switzerland, No. 31 in Austria, and No. 16 in Greece. On global charts, it continues to rise—Billboard’s Global 200 sees it at No. 111, while the Global Excl. U.S. chart lists it at No. 81.
According to the IFPI’s 2024 Global Music Report, Afrobeats saw a 23% surge in global consumption, while Dancehall-infused collaborations rose by 17%, reflecting the appetite for cross-continental sounds. Cultural analyst Dr. Leanne Thomas calls the remix “a rise of a hybrid sound that reflects diasporic unity,” adding that artists like Moliy, Shenseea, and Skillibeng are “the new vanguards of a global Black sound.” Indeed, this sonic fusion recalls earlier collaborations like Wizkid and Drake’s One Dance and Burna Boy’s work with Popcaan, but Moliy’s offering feels uniquely current and rooted in modern diasporic dialogue.
For Moliy, the success is both musical and symbolic. “It felt like a full-circle moment being embraced by Jamaica—the cradle of Dancehall,” she said in a recent interview. “You can feel the rhythm of the island in every bounce of the beat.” With Shenseea heading into several international projects and Skillibeng’s steady chart presence, this Afro-Caribbean trio is not just making music—they’re making history.
