Moliy’s Shake It To The Max (Fly) Certified Gold in the UK, Marking Its 4th Gold Certification

1 month ago 3

Moliy’s breakout anthem “Shake It To The Max (Fly)” continues to dominate the global stage, earning yet another accolade—this time a Gold certification in the U.K. The British Phonographic Industry confirmed the milestone on September 5, 2025, recognising sales and streaming equivalents surpassing 400,000 units. Produced by Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil under their Bashment Sound imprint, the track’s success cements Moliy’s position as one of the most exciting voices driving Afrobeats into the international mainstream.

This latest honour adds to an impressive list of global achievements. Earlier this summer, the original cut went Gold in Greece with over one million streaming equivalents, picked up a Gold plaque in France for 100,000 units, and struck Gold in New Zealand with 15,000 units in combined sales and streams. Industry analysts predict the song is on course to reach U.S. Gold status by year’s end, with Canada already showing Platinum potential. With over 281 million YouTube views across its versions and relentless momentum on streaming platforms, the song has proven to be more than a viral hit—it’s a global movement.

Much of that movement has been propelled by the remix featuring Shenseea and Skillibeng, which has carved its own lane of success. The reimagined version was recently named one of Spotify’s Top 5 Songs of Summer 2025, a feat that saw it chart in more than 45 countries and hit No. 1 in Trinidad and Tobago. Its high-energy blend of Afrobeats and dancehall stood out in a season dominated by slower, introspective tunes, fueling festivals, carnivals, and club nights from Kingston to Amsterdam.

Since its February release, the remix has moved over 500,000 units in the U.S., making it eligible for RIAA Gold certification while maintaining an 11-week run on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 44. The record’s cultural impact also secured a nomination for Best Afrobeats at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, a breakthrough nod that Moliy described as “the world finally starting to feel it too.” For Shenseea, it marked her second VMA nomination, while Skillibeng added yet another milestone to his growing international résumé.

Together, Moliy, Silent Addy, Shenseea, and Skillibeng have transformed “Shake It To The Max (Fly)” from a dance-floor favourite into one of 2025’s defining global hits. Whether racking up certifications or igniting worldwide charts, the track underscores the unstoppable rise of the Afro-Caribbean sound. As Moliy’s star ascends, the song’s continued momentum suggests that this is not just a moment in her career—it’s the beginning of a legacy.
