Beyond the UK, Calm Down has amassed over 2 billion streams across various platforms, making it the most-streamed Afrobeats song on Spotify and the most-viewed music video by an African artist on YouTube.
With these milestones, Rema continues to be a major force in the Afrobeats movement, pushing the genre to new heights on the global stage. As fans celebrate his latest success, anticipation remains high for what he has in store next.
