The collaborative musical sensation ‘Shake It To The Max (Fly) Remix’ has achieved a significant industry milestone, securing gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) exactly one year following its digital release in the United States. This certification, officially granted on February 23, recognizes the track’s commercial success in surpassing 500,000 equivalent units sold through combined sales and streaming performance.
Featuring the combined talents of Moliy, Silent Addy, Skillibeng, and Shenseea, the transnational hit has demonstrated remarkable chart performance across multiple markets. The track previously dominated Billboard’s Rhythmic Top 40 Airplay chart while simultaneously climbing various other Billboard and European music rankings.
In exclusive commentary with the Jamaica Observer, producer and co-creator Silent Addy revealed the strategic conception behind the viral phenomenon. ‘Our objective was to create an infectious club anthem with strong social media potential, complete with an accompanying dance routine,’ explained Addy, who produced the track alongside Disco Neil. The creative process began at Miami’s Bashment Sound Studio during sessions with Moliy, whose distinctive vocal tone and style perfectly complemented the production.
The track’s journey to virality began with strategic teasers on TikTok, where it rapidly gained traction throughout the 2024 holiday season. Its organic popularity reached critical mass during Addy’s holiday visit to Jamaica, where the song received consistent play at local events. This exposure ultimately facilitated collaborations with dancehall stars Skillibeng and Shenseea through established industry connections.
This American certification adds to the track’s growing international accolades, having previously earned gold status in New Zealand (15,000 units), the United Kingdom (400,000 units), and Greece (one million streams). The remix has further achieved platinum certification in France, recognizing equivalent sales of 200,000 units in the French market.
