Afrobeat sensation Rema has made history as he officially gets inducted into the Guinness World Records.
The talented 23-year-old Afrobeats singer has achieved this remarkable feat with his global smash hit, ‘Calm Down,’ which made history as the first No.1 hit on The Official MENA Chart, the world’s inaugural regional streaming chart.
Just weeks ago, Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ had amassed an incredible 1 billion streams on Spotify. The overwhelming success of this song has now earned Rema a well-deserved recognition in the Guinness World Records.
In a recent statement on its website, the Guinness World Records acknowledged the Benin-born singer for his historic achievement. Rema’s groundbreaking accomplishment of securing the first-ever number one hit on the world’s first regional streaming chart, specifically in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, has solidified his place in music history.
With this remarkable achievement, Rema now joins the ranks of Femi Kuti and Wizkid as Nigerian musicians who have set World Guinness records.
