Adding yet another feather to his cap, Rema has now etched his name in history by securing a groundbreaking achievement: his debut album ‘Raves & Roses’ has now spent an awe-inspiring 30 weeks on the illustrious Billboard 200 chart.

This unprecedented feat not only showcases Rema’s exceptional artistry but also signals a monumental moment for African music’s global recognition.

The previous record holder for the longest-charting African album on the Billboard 200 was none other than Nigerian superstar Wizkid with his acclaimed fourth album ‘Made In Lagos,’ which was certified Gold by the RIAA.

Rema’s remarkable achievement in surpassing this milestone underscores his remarkable impact and the ever-growing global appeal of Afrobeats.

At the heart of this accomplishment lies the unwavering success of Rema’s standout track, ‘Calm Down,’ featuring Selena Gomez. The song has secured its position as a global smash hit, serving as the driving force behind ‘Raves & Roses’ chart dominance.

‘Calm Down’ has etched its place in history as the highest-charting Nigerian song on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100, reaching an impressive peak position of number 5. Furthermore, it claims the title of the second highest-charting African song on the same chart, an extraordinary achievement that underscores the transcendent appeal of Rema’s music.

The triumph of ‘Calm Down’ extends beyond just chart performance. The single’s stranglehold on the number 1 spot of the Billboard US Afrobeats chart for a record-breaking 49 weeks reflects its lasting resonance and popularity among listeners.
