According to American Music Stats Company, Chart Data, ‘Calm
Down’ has earned over 1 billion on-demand streams in the US.
“REMA’s “Calm Down” becomes the first Afrobeats song in
history to earn over 1 billion on-demand streams in the US,” Chart Data
tweeted.
In August last year, ‘Calm Down remix’ with Selena Gomez
became the first African song to hit the billion mark in Spotify’s history.
The duo teamed up on the remix of Rema’s global hit ‘Calm
Down.’
The original version of ‘Calm Down’ was recognised by
Guinness World Record as the first number one song on the world’s first
regional streaming chart, MENA.
In November 2023, Rema shuts down his “Ravage Uprising” 02
Arena show in London. The sold-out show of 20,000 capacity saw the likes of
Nigerian celebrities and fans traveling all the way to London for the show that
can described as yet another celebration of Afrobeats.
Rema joined other award-winning Nigerian artistes like
Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake who have already sold the arena.
