Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema's song Calm Down has dropped off the Billboard Hot 100 after a record-breaking 57 weeks.

The music tracking service Chart Data announced on X that the song "made history, becoming the longest-charting and most successful African song of all time."

The song broke the 35-week record that fellow Nigerian Afrobeats artist Wizkid's song Essence had previously held.

About seven months after its release, in September of last year, Calm Down debuted on the Billboard Hot 100.

Since its release, the mesmerising song—described by Billboard magazine's music analysts as "a melancholy slow jam with a subtle hypnotic draw”—has captured the attention of music lovers all over the world.

Despite having a small part in the song, American pop star Selena Gomez's appearance on Calm Down contributed to its enormous global popularity.

The song became the highest-charting song on which an Afrobeats musician was the lead artist when it peaked at position three on the Billboard Hot 100, the most prestigious music ranking in the US.

After hearing that the song had left the Billboard Hot 100 chart, fans of Rema and Selena praised the song's historic accomplishment.

It has broken more than a dozen records. Last month it became the most streamed Afrobeats song on Spotify and the first African artist-led song to hit one billion streams on the music platform.

"We can't Calm Down, Rema has entered the Billions Club with the first African artist-led track to hit a billion streams on Spotify! Congratulations to Rema and Selena Gomez," Spotify posted on X when Calm Down set the record.
