On Tuesday (Dec. 9), the full list of Billboard’s 2025 year-end charts will be revealed, and on the eve of their unveiling we’re bringing you a special sneak peek at the top 10 of the year-end Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.
Tomorrow, hundreds of year-end charts will be posted on Billboard’s website, following the conclusion of the Billboard 2025 No. 1s Livestream, hosted by Druski, which will broadcast on the Billboard News YouTube channel and BillboardTV on Samsung TV Plus starting at noon ET/9 a.m. PT, as special surprise guests stop by to celebrate the year in chart-toppers.
Today, we’re sharing the top 10 of the 2025 Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart – led by “Shake It to the Max (Fly)” by MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea. The track flew onto the weekly version of the chart dated March 16, 2025, at No. 16 and climbed to No. 1 on the May 17-dated list. It then spent the rest of the 2025 chart year (Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025) lodged at No. 1.
For the top 10 of both lists, scroll below. The full depth of both rankings (beyond the top 10 of each) will be posted Dec. 9 alongside the complete menu of Billboard’s 2025 year-end charts.
Billboard’s year-end music charts represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the entries appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
