Rema Breaks New Record; “Calm Down” Remix Hit 1bn streams on Spotify
Africans are good at making music but when it comes to Nigeria they are the best. We have a lot of them Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and more. Rema one of the Mavin’s Records resident singers is now sitting at the top of Spotify as Calm Down featuring Selena Gomez hit one billion.
From the update we got from Spotify, “Rema’s Calm Down with Selena Gomez is the newest member of Billion Club.”
This is a huge milestone because none of the other top African artists have made this the first time African artists hit a billion streams on Spotify. This has become a testament to Rema’s artistry and global appeal.
Rema’s “Calm Down” was officially released last year and it’s getting more views on YouTube. While Spotify has ranked the song as the first African song to hit 1 Billion, sooner or later it will also achieve such milestone on YouTube and other Platforms.
The remix of (Baby “Calm Down”), though is the track that changed everything which Gomez is always proud of. It came into existence the same year just after the first version was released. Calm Down remix is also doing well not only on Spotify but also on Billboard.
Selena Gomez confirmed that she will keep her respect intact for Rema. According to her “ “This man has changed my life forever. Rema, thank you for choosing me to be a part of one of the biggest songs in the world. Love you forever.”
Lots of congratulations flying into his DM with the same respect to Mavin Records. The boss himself (Don Jazz) has reacted to Rema’s fresh record. To him, this is not small at all since Wizkid, Davido and more are yet to achieve this
“Massive congratulations to @heisrema as Calmdown ft @selenagomez just crossed 1 billion streams on Spotify. This is not small at allllll. Thanks for the love and support guys.”
Rema is a super Nigerian talent and collaboration with Selena Gomez has given him a shade in the music industry. Davido and Burna Boy have always loved him for making African music much more available globally.
