450 lands first entry on Billboard

DANCEHALL artiste 450 lands his first entry on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart as a featured act on Davido’s R&B. The song, which also features Shenseea, debuted at number 13 last week but it backtracks to number 17 on this week’s tally.

R&B is featured on Davido’s fifth studio album 5ive, which was released April 18 via Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment. The song Awuke, featuring YG Marley, also appears on 5ive.

5ive opened at number one in Nigeria, number 83 in Switzerland, number seven on the UK Albums and number two on both the UK R&B Albums and US World Albums charts.

It is understood that the collaboration with 450 came about after Davido’s team reached out to 450’s management.

Both artistes met for the first time at a listening party for the album, which was held in early April at the Saint Resto Lounge in midtown, Manhattan, New York City.

R&B also debuts at number 28 in Nigeria on the Turntable Hot 100 chart.

Meanwhile, Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix by Moliy, Silent Addy, Shenseea and Skillibeng continues its upward trajectory on most global charts.

On the Billboard Global 200, it bolts from number 181 to number 136, while stepping up from number 105 to number 95 on the Global 200 Excluding US chart.

In Ireland, Shake it to the Max rises from number 73 to number 68, however, though it loses steam in Austria, reversing from number 31 to number 41.

On Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart, Shake it to the Max moves in closer to the number one spot as it inches up from number three to two. Over on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40, the song improves from number 40 to 33.

Shake it to the Max flies from number 71 to 67 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. The song is also number 21 in Greece, number 54 in the Netherlands, number 35 in New Zealand, number 32 in Switzerland, and number 25 on the UK Singles chart.

Over on the German Urban chart, Push 2 Start (remix) by Tyla featuring Sean Paul remains at number two, while
Let it Talk to Me by Sean Paul and INNA slips from number 11 to 15.

Crazy by Busta Rhymes, Akon and Vybz Kartel reverses from number 14 to 17.

Bob Marley and the Wailers continue their dominance in the number one spot on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart with
Legend. Meanwhile, Hot Shot by Shaggy remains at number two, and Sean Paul’s The Trinity re-enters at number three.

World on Fire by Stick Figure is number four, Greatest Hits by UB40 is number five, and Dutty Rock by Sean Paul rises from number 10 to 6.

Wisdom and Set in Stone by Stick Figure are number 7 and 8, respectively, while Exodus by Bob Marley and Welcome to Jamrock by Damian Marley are numbers 9 and 10, respectively.

Moving now to regional charts, Life is the Thing by The Human Rights takes over the number one spot on the Rebel Vibez Top Ten Canadian Reggae chart, while Warm and Tender Love by Deemo Matthews is number seven.
Beautiful by Auresia is number nine, and Meds by Chizzy Bashment featuring Kris Gee debuts at number 10.

Tarrus Riley’s Love Again climbs to number one on the New York Reggae chart, while Blame it on the Wine by Hezron steps up from number 12 to 9.

Wife and Sweetheart by Christopher Martin lifts from 19 to 17, while Back it Up by Peter G, and Marry You by Steve Knight are new entries at numbers 29 and 30, respectively.

On the South Florida Reggae chart, Til a Mawnin by Shaggy featuring Sting remains at number one for a fifth week while
Bye Bye Love by Anthony Malvo is new at number 24.
