The Grammy buzz is still reverberating, and following South African singer Tyla’s triumphant win on Sunday, “ PUSH 2 START”—which took home the Best African Music Performance award—is enjoying a strong resurgence across radio, streaming platforms, and video consumption in Nigeria. The track is now posting one of the most notable post-awards rebounds of the year.

Within just 48 hours, the record has recorded a staggering 1,084% increase in radio airplay nationwide, a clear indication that Nigerian listeners are rapidly reintegrating the song into their daily rotations. Streaming figures tell an equally compelling story. On Spotify Nigeria, the song has surged 146 spots to No. 23, while on Apple Music Nigeria, “ PUSH 2 START” currently sits at No. 53, with momentum continuing to build as Grammy-driven discovery translates into sustained listening.

The visual performance mirrors this upswing. On YouTube Nigeria, the track has climbed 29 spots to No. 42 within the same two-day window, reflecting heightened interest across all major consumption formats.

With radio airplay, streaming, and video metrics aligning simultaneously, all signs now point to a highly anticipated re-entry for “PUSH 2 START” on the Official Nigeria Top 100 chart next week.

The ripple effect of the Grammy win extends beyond the award-winning record. Tyla’s recent 2025 release, “CHANEL,” has also benefited from the renewed spotlight. Already a strong performer since its release, the song has added fresh gains across both streaming platforms and radio airplay in Nigeria. “CHANEL” currently sits at No. 54 on this week’s Official Nigeria Top 100, having previously peaked at No. 29 and accumulated a solid 14-week chart run. Buoyed by the Grammy momentum, the track is projected to climb significantly next week, potentially matching or surpassing its previous peak.

As history has consistently shown, Grammy recognition carries tangible impact, and at the moment, Nigeria’s charts, airwaves, and playlists are responding in unison.
