Zaava's "Aya" Climbs Three Major Beatport Charts in Just One Week
Albanian DJ and producer Zaava is making waves on the global Afro House stage. His latest single, "Aya," released on April 10, 2026, through the acclaimed House On Frame label, has stormed onto three of Beatport's most competitive charts in just seven days — a career-defining moment for the Tirana-based artist and a statement of intent for the Albanian electronic music scene.
Within one week of its release, "Aya" reached #14 on the Beatport Afro House Hype Top 100, placing Zaava among the genre's hottest emerging tracks alongside releases from established names like Andor Gabriel, Space Motion, and Mr. V. The track also climbed to #49 on the Afro House Top 100, Beatport's definitive ranking of the genre's biggest sellers, and broke into the cross-genre Hype Top 100 Overall at #81, competing against new releases from every genre on the platform.
What Makes "Aya" Stand Out
The track lands on House On Frame, one of the most dominant labels in the current Afro House landscape. House On Frame is ranked among the top 10 trending labels in the genre on BeatStats, and its roster consistently produces chart-topping releases. For Zaava, signing with House On Frame marks a strategic alignment with a label at the cutting edge of the Afro House movement.
Three charts. Seven days. One track. "Aya" is not just a release — it's a breakthrough.
Charting simultaneously on three separate Beatport playlists is a rare achievement, particularly for an independent artist from Albania. The Afro House Hype Top 100 highlights the fastest-rising tracks from emerging and independent artists, while the Afro House Top 100 is driven by overall sales and streams — meaning "Aya" is not only generating buzz but converting that momentum into real listener engagement worldwide.
"Aya" represents a pivotal shift — from a respected club DJ to a charting producer whose sound resonates with Afro House audiences worldwide. The track's rapid climb across three Beatport charts suggests that global listeners and DJs alike are responding to Zaava's production vision.
A Milestone for Albanian Electronic Music
Albania's electronic music scene has been growing steadily, but international chart recognition at this level remains uncommon for Albanian producers. Zaava's triple-chart placement on Beatport helps put Albanian electronic music on the map in a tangible way, demonstrating that world-class Afro House production can emerge from anywhere.
With "Aya" continuing to gain traction on Beatport and the summer season approaching, Zaava is positioned for what could be a defining year. The track is available now on Beatport and all major streaming platforms.
