Rema’s phenomenal year was propelled by the success of his chart-topping single ‘Calm Down,’ a track that not only dominated charts across multiple countries but also earned the distinction of being the most significant African musical export to date.

The album’s recognition marks a pivotal moment for African music on the global stage. The collaboration between Rema and Selena Gomez on ‘Calm Down’ catapulted the Nigerian Afrobeats sensation to No. 41 on Billboard’s year-end artist chart.

The song, reaching an impressive No. 3 peak and maintaining a position on the chart for over a year, showcased the unprecedented success of an African artist in the international music scene.

Ending the year as the second-highest-ranking Afrobeats artist, right behind Burna Boy, Rema’s influence continued to grow.

Following his record-breaking achievement as the youngest African artist to sell out the O2 Arena, Rema received further accolades from Spotify for ‘Calm Down,’ which amassed a staggering 1 billion streams on the platform.
