The Afrobeats Chart in the United Kingdom is looking feminine this week, with showstoppers Tyla, Tems, and Ayra Starr taking the top four spots with their trendy hits.
For the week of May 5–11, Tyla has two songs from her debut album among the top four records on the list. Jump, featuring Gunna and Skillibeng, and the song Art, capture the No. 1 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
The novel appearance is that of sensational Tems, whose brand new single Love Me Jeje has climbed to the No.2 spot, after spending barely a week on the chart.
Love Me Jeje is a single from Born In The Wild album. Tems released the official video for the song last Friday, May 3, 2024. Since its premiere, the song has received massive endorsements from fans who await the official release of the album.
Streaming figures for Love Me Jeje have been shooting up across platforms, and it is quite remarkable the love-themed rendition has recorded a significant rise on the UK chart in its first week.

The top three trending hits on the chart are ably supported by the single Commas by Ayra Starr. In the week under review, the song was ranked No. 4 on the Afrobeats Chart in the United Kingdom.
Commas had already spent a total of nine weeks on the Afrobeats Chart, climbing and falling from different peak positions in the past few weeks.
The charts are quite unpredictable, but the current peak position for Commas is a significant achievement for Ayra Starr, who gets ready to release her sophomore album on May 31 this year.
In February this year, Commas made its debut on the Billboard Afrobeats Chart in the United States, reaching No.6 on the rankings. The official video for the song has also accumulated millions of views on YouTube.
The song is Ayra Starr’s first single in 2024 which has been endorsed in the Gambia and her home country, where it continues to top local charts.
Clearly, Tems, Tyla, and Ayra Starr have set the standards for African female musicians so far, and it appears they will continue to lead the charts in the weeks ahead until new faces or voices come to compete.
