Turkish girl group manifest has scored a major Spotify milestone with “TRALALA,” as the group’s debut English-language single entered the Daily Global chart at No. 46 with approximately 1.917 million streams. The October 9 release marks the first time a song by a Turkish female group has entered Spotify’s Global Top 50, giving the six-member act a breakthrough moment as it pushes toward international pop stardom.
The achievement sets “TRALALA” apart from manifest’s earlier releases on the platform. “Hileli,” featuring Turkish pop icon Ajda Pekkan, previously peaked at No. 155 on the Daily Global chart, while “Toz Pembe” reached No. 177. The latter also topped Spotify’s Global Debut chart earlier in 2026, but neither song entered the Global Top 50.

Notably, “TRALALA” is not the first song by a Turkish artist to reach Spotify’s Global Top 50. Zeynep Bastık’s “Lan” became the first fully Turkish-language song to enter that section of the chart in March 2024, debuting at No. 45 before climbing into the 20s. Other Turkish tracks had already reached the Global chart, including Uzi’s “Arasan da,” which peaked at No. 65, Sefo’s “Bilmem mi” at No. 75, and Mabel Matiz and Mert Demir’s “Antidepresan” at No. 87.
Released through Hypers Music, “TRALALA” blends rhythmic pop production with traditional Turkish instrumentation, introducing manifest to a broader audience through its first English-language single. The track places friendship, confidence and cultural identity at the center of its message, with the playful lyric “Look like an angel, God bless, Mashallah” reflecting the group’s approach to combining international pop with references to its roots.
Directed by Yeeiid, whose previous credits include work with Tyla, Future and Tinie Tempah, the accompanying music video was filmed in London’s East End. Turkish coffee, nazar charms and references to “Mashallah” run throughout the visual, while the members present themselves as a confident unit taking over the streets together. The release forms part of a wider UK campaign that has included a debut performance at an exclusive Thames boat party and a surprise meet-and-greet at a Turkish restaurant in Soho, where hundreds of fans gathered.
Formed in February 2025, manifest consists of Esin Bahat, Hilal Yelekçi, Lidya Pınar, Mina Solak, Sueda Uluca and Zeynep Sude Oktay. The group has surpassed 7 million Spotify listeners and accumulated more than 3 billion YouTube views, building a substantial audience in Türkiye while seeking a larger international presence.
