South African global superstar Tyla continues breaking barriers internationally after her highly anticipated upcoming album APOP* officially surpassed 100,000 total units sold in the United States before its release.
The achievement was driven entirely by pre-released singles activity and album preorders, proving the massive anticipation surrounding Tyla’s next musical era. The milestone further cements her position as one of Africa’s biggest global music exports and highlights her rapidly growing fanbase worldwide.
With this achievement, APOP* now joins Tyla’s own debut project TYLA as the only albums by an African solo artist to surpass the 100,000-unit milestone ahead of release in the US. Fans and music industry observers have described the moment as another groundbreaking accomplishment for African music on the international stage.
Tyla has continued building incredible momentum over the past few years through chart success, viral records, major performances, and international award recognition.
