Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Divine Ikubor, widely known by his stage name Rema, has been acknowledged by the Guinness World Book of Records for his groundbreaking achievement in the global music scene. The talented artist, originally from Benin City, has made history with his smash hit single, “Calm Down.”
“Calm Down” has attained an unprecedented milestone by becoming the first-ever song to secure the number 1 spot on The Official MENA Chart, which is the world’s inaugural regional streaming chart. This remarkable accomplishment has placed Rema in the prestigious Guinness World Book of Records, as detailed in a recent statement on the organization’s website.
By earning this distinction, Rema has not only garnered recognition for his impressive musical prowess, but has also positioned himself as a trailblazer for the Afrobeats genre. The Official MENA Chart is the first-ever official chart to cover the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and Rema’s success on this platform highlights the global appeal of his unique sound.
With this impressive achievement, Rema now joins the esteemed company of fellow Nigerian musicians, including Femi Kuti and Wizkid, who have also been honored with Guinness World Records. This noteworthy accomplishment is a testament to the continuing rise and global impact of Nigerian music and artists.
