MORE ABOUT TYLA:
In an era where niche culture has taken priority over monoculture, two-time Grammy winner Tyla has ascended to true and unequivocal global superstar status. With APOP, asserted and fully aware of her presence in pop music, she presents a project that refuses containment or dismissal.
It's confrontational, candid but fun, and spills authenticity rooted in where she's from: a country that has always spoken in more than one musical language. Through this language, she reveals her range not just as an African artist, but as a global pop star with an entire world behind her.
Tyla's journey got off to a historic beginning in 2024, when she won her first Grammy Award, and made Billboard chart history with the three-time RIAA Platinum smash hit "Water," and the release of her seminal debut albums, TYLA and TYLA+.
The set produced another Hot 100 and Grammy-winning hit, "Push 2 Start," and sent seven songs to the U.S. Afrobeats chart, including two No.1's.
The campaign made Tyla the highest-charting African female soloist on the Billboard 200. With her highly-anticipated second go-round, APOP, Tyla picked up where she left off. "Chanel," one of the album's standout singles, was an immediate pop sensation. It topped the U.S. Afrobeats chart and earned over 150 million video views, while Tyla's follow-up effort, the Zara Larsson-assisted, Y2K-inspired "She Did It Again," became a disruptive moment, and amplified Tyla's commitment to the pop star realm. "Is it Love,?" the album's third single, earned Tyla her record fourth No. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart.
