Rema's "Calm Down" continues to rewrite music history, securing its place as the most-streamed Afrobeats song in the US. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the 24-year-old Nigerian star.

Chart Data, a music monitoring platform, recently announced that "Calm Down" has become the first Afrobeats song ever to surpass one billion on-demand streams in the US, solidifying its status as the "most successful African song of all time," as previously described by Chart Data last year.

Billboard magazine's music analysts attribute the song's success to its melancholic slow jam and subtle hypnotic allure. Its captivating nature embeds itself in listeners' minds, compelling them to revisit it repeatedly.

Originally released in February 2022 as a single from Rema's debut album "Rave and Roses," the track gained further traction when Rema collaborated with US singer Selena Gomez for a remix, which achieved the billion-plays milestone on Spotify.

This remix also made history by becoming the first African song to spend a year on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number three and setting a record for the highest-charting song led by an Afrobeats artist.

The remix's music video, boasting nearly 894 million views on YouTube, stands as the most-watched by a Nigerian artist, catapulting Rema into the upper echelons of prominent Afrobeats artists such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.

Embracing his unique style, Rema has coined the term "Afrorave" to describe his distinctive blend within the Afrobeats genre.
