This curated selection showcases a powerful and diverse collection of songs that have not only dominated charts but have also become global cultural phenomena, proving that "The World’s Afro Culture begins here."

The list, published by @amgrecordcharts, is a testament to the genre's explosive growth and its ability to captivate audiences worldwide. From infectious dance challenges to soul-stirring melodies, these tracks represent the pinnacle of Afrobeats' international success.

Here is the full list of All-Time Trending Hits, as compiled by AMG Records:

  • "Cheerleader" by Omi: Though a reggae-fusion track, its globally successful remix by Felix Jaehn paved the way for the tropical sounds that would become a staple on international charts. The song's feel-good vibe and massive viral success set a precedent for the global spread of music from the African diaspora.
  • "Calm Down" by Rema & Selena Gomez: A true powerhouse of a collaboration, this track shattered records and became the longest-running song on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. The original song's hypnotic beat, paired with a superstar remix, cemented Rema's status as a global icon and proved the genre's mainstream appeal.
  • "Jerusalema" by Master KG ft. Nomcebo Zikode: This South African gospel-house anthem transcended language barriers and became a worldwide sensation thanks to its viral dance challenge. "Jerusalema" brought people together during a period of global uncertainty, solidifying its place as a song of hope and unity.
  • "Rush" by Ayra Starr: A defining track for a new generation of Afrobeats artists, "Rush" showcases Ayra Starr's unique "Afro-rave" sound and lyrical prowess. The song's massive success on social media platforms like TikTok propelled it onto international charts and earned the artist a Grammy nomination, highlighting the genre's growing critical acclaim.
  • "On The Low" by Burna Boy: An early hit from the self-proclaimed "African Giant," this track showcases Burna Boy's masterful fusion of Afrobeats, dancehall, and reggae. Its smooth, infectious melody and relatable lyrics about a secret romance helped establish Burna Boy as a dominant force long before his more recent chart-topping hits.
  • "People" by Libianca: A deeply personal and emotionally resonant track, "People" connected with listeners around the world through its raw honesty about mental health and loneliness. The song's global success demonstrates the power of authentic storytelling within the Afrobeats soundscape.
  • "Last Last" by Burna Boy: A heartbreak anthem that samples Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough," this song became a global smash hit, peaking high on the Billboard Hot 100. "Last Last" is a prime example of Afrobeats' ability to seamlessly blend with international influences while maintaining its distinct identity.
  • "Joro" by Wizkid: A fan favorite, "Joro" is a mesmerizing, mid-tempo track that embodies the sensual and soulful side of Afrobeats. With its hypnotic rhythm and romantic themes, the song’s success further solidified Wizkid's position as a pioneer of the genre and one of its most celebrated global exports.
  • "Fall" by Davido: This 2017 hit broke significant ground for Afrobeats, becoming the longest-charting Nigerian pop song in Billboard history at the time. "Fall" was an early testament to the genre's potential for mainstream success in the U.S. and beyond, paving the way for future artists.
  • "Ye" by Burna Boy: A cultural touchstone, "Ye" is often cited as a turning point in Afrobeats' global ascendancy. The song's powerful message and infectious chorus resonated with a wide audience, and its accidental virality due to a search engine mix-up with Kanye West's album of the same name only added to its legendary status.

This list from AMG Records is more than just a collection of popular songs; it’s a chronicle of a musical revolution. It highlights the journeys of artists who have transformed African music from a regional sound into a global phenomenon, with each track marking a significant step in Afrobeats' unstoppable rise to the top.
