Hold on to your hats folks, because Nigerian afrobeats sensation, Rema, has made history and is now a Guinness World Record holder! The talented singer, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, can now add ‘record-breaker’ to his already impressive list of accomplishments.
What did he do to earn this coveted title, you ask? Well, Rema smashed his way into the record books with his chart-topping hit, ‘Calm Down’. This catchy tune has officially been named the First No.1 Hit on The Official MENA Chart, which is the world’s first regional streaming chart. Impressive stuff, right?
Guinness World Records took notice of Rema’s epic achievement and made it official in a statement on their website. The organisation praised the singer for securing the first-ever number 1 hit on the MENA chart, which is also the first-ever official chart in the Middle East and North Africa region.
We can only imagine how proud Rema must feel right now. He’s a true trailblazer and has set the bar high for future artists looking to make their mark on the music industry. Congratulations, Rema – you’re a true record-breaker!
