Divine Ikubor, professionally known as Rema, the talent behind the hit song “Dumebi,” has once again made history with his chart-topping international sensation, ““Calm Down,” featuring the Grammy-winning American singer Selena Gomez.
Rema, the multiple award-winning Afrobeats artist from Nigeria, who is signed with Jonzing World Record owned by D’Prince and associated with Mavin Records, teamed up with the iconic Selena Marie Gomez, known for her captivating vocals and extensive work in film and television, to firmly establish Afrobeat on the global stage through their collaboration on “Calm Down.”
Rema’s global presence skyrocketed with the release of the 2022 hit single “Calm Down,” featuring Selena Gomez. The remix reached an impressive No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and maintained the top spot on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for an unprecedented 52 weeks. This monumental achievement not only marked Gomez’s first No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart but also secured Rema’s first chart-topping track. While Rema had previously achieved notable chart success, Gomez had come close with her song “Same Old Love,” which peaked at No. 3 eight years ago.
The remarkable success of “Calm Down” by Rema & Selena Gomez extends beyond charts and accolades; it has surpassed an astounding 1 billion streams on Spotify. This milestone makes it Rema’s first song and Selena’s sixth to achieve such a feat, solidifying its status as the first and only African song to achieve this monumental milestone.
