Tyla's new album is dominating the Afrobeats chart in America. The 22-year-old released her debut album, 'TYLA', on March 22. 

Several songs on the 14-track album have already been streamed millions of times on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. 

Tyla and her music producer, Sammy Soso, shared a screenshot showing that she has seven songs in the top 10 on Billboard's U.S. Afrobeats Chart. 

"God is the greatest," Sammy wrote. 

'On My Body' ft. Becky G, 'Safer', 'Jump' ft. Gunna and Skillibeng, 'No.1' ft. Tems, and 'Art' are new entries on the chart. 'Truth Or Dare', which was released in February, is currently at number three.

Tyla's smash hit 'Water' is still at #1. It has featured on the Afrobeats chart for a total of 106 weeks. 'Water' also reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The South African singer also features in the new Harper's Bazaar.

"There’s no girl of the moment quite like Tyla," the US publication said about the star. 

The "pretty girl from Joburg" couldn't stop bragging about her home country in the interview. 

"Wherever I go, I represent my home, I represent South Africa in my music and in just myself. As I get bigger, I’m always be sure that South Africa’s name is uplifted. The [amapiano] genre, the music, the culture—it all comes with me. This is not only, my moment, but also Africa’s moment too," she told Harper's Bazaar.
