#FlexwithFlexa: Top Afrobeats Songs Topping Global Charts This Week

In this age and time, we can all agree that Afrobeats is one of the best genres in the world. The current rave continues to dominate the global charts every week.

If you’re reading this article, here’s your chance to catch up on the latest Afrobeats songs dominating every music chart in the world. Check out the top five:

  • Love Me Jeje: Tems

Tems’ comeback with her lovely sound in her new single, “Love Me Jeje,” from the album “Born in the Wild” in May cemented her place in Afrobeats and the proof is how it continues to dominate music charts almost three months later.

Considering the relationship between being ‘Born in the Wild’ and the desire to be loved ‘jeje’, a Nigerian slang word for tender, which conveys a sense of gentle, easy-going love, the 28-year-old’s ability to explore a different style and voice on this song.

  • Wave by Asake ft Central Cee

With its catchy lyrics, dynamic beats and 3 mins 25 secs, we see why “Wave” by Asake Ft. Central Cee is topping the charts this week.

Trust Asake to bring his signature Afrobeat style and paired with Central Cee’s compelling rap verses, this makes the track a must-listen. The song has been gaining traction across various streaming platforms, and its popularity is skyrocketing.

  • Higher by Burna Boy

Burna Boy has released “Higher” – an inspirational new song aimed at elevating his hometown of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This song is particularly special as it aligns with the Grammy Award-winning artiste’s ongoing efforts through Project PROTECT, a pivotal initiative he founded to provide financial, medical and legal assistance to communities affected by systemic violence and poverty.

Considering the current tension in the country, we believe it’s an inspirational song for everyone at this point.

  • Yayo by Rema

From his album – Heis, Rolling Stone describes the song and album as a buzzy, visceral, sweat-it-out music that no one else in the mainstream is making. Fondly described as “The prince of Afrobeats,” Rema delivered on Yayo with a strong production and chorus.

  • Last Heartbreak Song by Ayra Starr ft Giveon

In Burna Boy’s words, “Na everybody go chop breakfast” and one of our favourite Gen-Z singers is not exempt.

From the album “The Year I Turned 21”, Ayra delivers a soulful song that speaks to everyone who has ever been burned by love. “It feels one-sided now,” she laments with her sweet yet searing vocals. While heartbreak respects no one, trust our girl to make lemons out of this lemonade.
