Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix ranks #19 on Billboard list

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The global dancehall hit Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix by MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea, ranks at #19 on Billboard’s The 50 Best Songs of 2025 So Far list.

The list, which was revealed on Wednesday, was compiled by staff writers at the respected music and trade publication.

Shake it to the Max (Fly) remix was released in February, and since then, it has gone on to dent several mainstream charts around the globe as well as in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The song moved up to #10 on this week’s Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, marking the first time in 19 years that a Jamaican has made the top 10.

On the Hot 100, it steps up from #55 to #47, while on R&B/Hip Hop Streaming Songs, it skips from #16 to #12. It rises to a new peak of #15 on R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, while spiralling from #14 to #5 on R&B/Hip Hop Digital Song Sales.

Over on Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, the song cracks the top 10 at #10, while moving up two spots from #14 to #12 on Rhythmic Top 40 Airplay.

Meanwhile, on Global 200, it backtracks from number nine to #11 and on Global Excluding US 200 chart, it tumbles from number eight to nine after peaking at number five some two weeks ago.

Shake it to the Max was recently certified silver in the United Kingdom for sales and streaming equivalent of 200,000 units.

Some of the other songs that made the Billboard 50 Best Songs of 2025 So Far list include:

End of the World by Miley Cyrus #42

Dark Thoughts by Lil Tecca #34

30 For 30 by SZA featuring Kendrick Lamar #27
