Rema, an African music superstar is joining the Billions Club on Spotify.
“Calm Down,” his hit single featuring Selena Gomez, has been exciting listeners on the dance floor and beyond since it was released in August 2022—and has been streamed repeatedly.
This achievement marks the first time an African artist–led track has racked up a billion streams on Spotify. And Rema is a worthy champion, as one of the top 10 most-streamed Afrobeats artists on the platform.
“It’s a blessing. It’s not just a big win for me, my team, and family; it’s also a big one for the culture,” shared Rema. “I feel really happy, and I’m really proud of the fans as well for going back to the song and putting people onto the song. Shout-out to the DJs and everyone who made this possible.”
