Why it's here

"LET ME BE" is the breakout single by The Second Voice, an anonymous mask-wearing Zambian artist blending Afrohouse and Amapiano, released on 25 January 2026. [1] The track reached No. 1 on the Shazam Global chart, holding the top spot for 38 days and logging 181 days in the Top 50 since release, which is why it was still present in the lower reaches of daily global charts by late August 2026. [2] Its rise was tied to an AI-assisted recording that the artist, Elvin Cena, uploaded to a new channel called "The Second Voice" on 8 February 2026, after which the song spread without his initial awareness. [3]

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
