In the ever-vibrant world of Afrobeats, Nigerian superstar Rema continues to solidify his status as a global force with the release of his latest single, “Fun,” on September 5, 2025. Known for his infectious energy and genre-blending sound, Rema has once again delivered a track that’s capturing hearts and playlists worldwide. “Fun” arrives as a playful, upbeat anthem that embodies the artist’s signature style: a mix of catchy hooks, rhythmic grooves, and lyrics that celebrate joy and escapism. Just three days in, “Fun” is already proving to be a worthy addition to Rema’s discography, blending Afrobeats’ infectious rhythms with universal themes of fun and resilience, quickly amassing millions of streams and climbing charts in multiple countries, proving Rema’s enduring appeal just months after his previous hits like “Baby (Is It a Crime)” from earlier in 2025. The song is on track to follow in the footsteps of his billion-stream smashes.
On Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Songs chart, it shot straight to No. 1 upon release and held the position for its second day, displacing competitors and solidifying Rema’s home turf dominance. This isn’t isolated; the song has topped Apple Music in Sierra Leone at No. 1 and Gambia at No. 2, while peaking at No. 3 in Chad—where it has already claimed the No. 1 spot three times. Globally, “Fun” debuted at No. 187 on the Shazam Top Songs chart, a promising entry for a song just days old and indicative of its search and discovery momentum.While Billboard charts haven’t reflected “Fun” yet—likely due to the timing of tracking weeks—its performance mirrors the trajectory of Rema’s past hits, like “Calm Down,” which topped Afrobeats and Global Excl. US charts. Analysts on platforms like Chartmetric note Rema’s follower growth spiked 32% around late August 2025, suggesting pre-release hype fueled the song’s launch.
As Rema continues to push boundaries—recently performing with Drake and teasing more music—expect “Fun” to keep the party going well into the fall of 2025. For now, it’s a reminder of why Rema remains Afrobeats’ brightest star: he doesn’t just make music; he creates moments. Stream it on Spotify, Apple Music, or your platform of choice and join the fun.
