Rema Surpasses 5.9 Billion Streams Across All Credits on Spotify
Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has reached another major milestone in his fast rising global career. The singer has now surpassed 5.9 billion total streams across all credits on Spotify, reinforcing his position as one of the most streamed African artists on the platform.
The achievement highlights the remarkable global reach of the artist born Divine Ikubor. Since breaking into the mainstream in 2019, Rema has built a powerful catalogue, home to Afrobeats, pop melodies and trap influences, a sound that has connected strongly with listeners around the world.
A significant portion of these streams comes from his global hit Calm Down, especially the remix featuring Selena Gomez. The song became a worldwide sensation and went on to break multiple streaming and chart records while introducing Afrobeats to an even wider international audience.
His debut album Rave and Roses also played a major role in the streaming surge. The project achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African album to surpass three billion streams on Spotify, further proving the scale of Rema’s impact in the digital era.
With other fan favourites such as Soundgasm, Charm and Holiday continuing to attract millions of streams, the young star’s catalogue keeps growing at an impressive pace.
Surpassing 5.9 billion streams across all credits marks another defining moment in Rema’s journey and further cements his status as one of the leading voices driving Afrobeats onto the global stage.
