Skillibeng earns 2nd Billboard Hot 100 entry with Shake it to the Max (Fly)

Skillibeng earns 2nd Billboard Hot 100 entry with Shake it to the Max (Fly)

Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix by Moliy and Silent Addy, featuring Shenseea and Skillibeng, continues to dominate charts globally and the song has now entered the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart in America at #91.

This is the second entry on the Hot 100 chart for Skillibeng. In 2021, a remix of Crocodile Teeth featuring Nicki Minaj topped out at #100.

Meanwhile, Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix is the first credited Hot 100 chart entry for Shenseea. In 2021 she provided uncredited vocals on two Hot 100 charting titles, Ok Ok Pt 2 (#12) and Pure Souls (#52) by Kanye West.

Shenseea is the 12th female artiste from Jamaica to have earned an entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart to date.

Here’s a quick recap of the list of Jamaican female artistes who have made it onto the Billboard Hot 100: Millie Small got the ball rolling in 1962 with My Boy Lollipop, which peaked at #2; while in 1989 Marcia Griffiths took a remix of her 1983 hit Electric Boogie to #52.

Chevelle Franklin was credited as featured act on Beenie Man’s 1997 #90 peak of Dancehall Queen, while Diana King logged four entries, with Shy Guy, her biggest, rising to #13 in 1995.

Nadine Sutherland teamed with Terror Fabulous for Action, which rose to #43 in November 1994; Patra charted four entries with Worker Man placing the highest at #53 in the summer of 1994.

Singer Cherine Anderson received credit on her collaboration Say Hey (I Love You) with American singer Michael Franti, which sold double platinum and stalled at #18 in 2008.

In June 2004 Beenie Man got a little help from Miss Thing on their hit Dude, which got as far as #26, while Lady Saw teamed up with No Doubt for the Sly and Robbie-produced Underneath it All, that stalled at #3 in 2002.

Brick and Lace singer Nyla is featured and credited on Light it Up (remix) by Major Lazer and Fuse ODG. That song got as far as #73 in 2016 and it has been certified for sales exceeding 2.5 million units globally.

Tessanne Chin scored three chart entries between late 2013 and 2014, with her cover of Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing peaking the highest at #51 in January 2024.

And still on Shake it to the Max (Fly), the song moves up to #27 in its 5th week on Billboard’s Global 200, while over on Global 200 Excluding US chart it darts from #35 to #16 in its 6th week.

On the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, the song steps up to #46, while stepping up to #21 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop chart. It is #22 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and #20 in its 5th week on Rhythmic Top 40 Airplay.

In Europe, the song is #14 on the UK Singles chart, #48 in Ireland, #8 in Greece, #23 in Czech Republic, #26 in Austria, #24 in Netherlands, #39 in New Zealand, #90 in Russia, #43 in Slovakia, and #27 in Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Bob Marley and the Wailers continue to dominate the #1 spot on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart as
Legend clocks 280 non-consecutive weeks in pole position.

Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection re-enters at #2, so too Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul at #3.

World on Fire by Stick Figure dips to #4, while Greatest Hits by UB40 remains at #5.

Sean Paul’s Dutty Rock is steady at #6, Wisdom and Set in Stone by Stick Figure are at #7 and #8, while Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers is #9.

Welcome to Jamrock by Damian Marley is firm at #10.

Moving now to regional charts, Life is the Thing by The Human Rights continues to lead the Rebel Vibez Top 10 Canadian Reggae chart.

The top 5 also includes at #2 Changes by Zantelly, while Jamaican-born SkyStar is at #3 with Karma. Your Eyes and Mine by Mirian Katrib is #4, and Deemo Matthews — who is of Jamaican heritage and who is also the leader singer of Canadisn reggae band Reggaddiction — is at #5 with his cover of the Percy Sledge classic Warm and Tender Love.

Wife and Sweetheart by Christopher Martin takes over the #1 spot on the New York Reggae chart.

Left with a Broken Heart by Sampalue is new at #28, while Smile by Rod Spence enters at #30.

In the meantime, singer Terry Linen spends a third week at #1 on the South Florida Reggae chart with Praise You.
