Divine
Ikubor, better known as Rema, has accomplished yet another impressive feat in
his career as a Nigerian music sensation. His hit single, ‘Calm Down’, has made
history by becoming the first-ever No.1 hit on The Official MENA Chart – the
world’s first regional streaming chart.
The news
of Rema’s Guinness World Book of Records entry was announced via a tweet shared
on the singer’s statistics Twitter account on Saturday. The statement in the
tweet read, “Calm Down by #heisrema marks entry on the Guinness Book as it has
won the First No.1 Hit on The Official MENA Chart (the world’s first regional
streaming chart) Record.”
Rema’s
‘Calm Down’ achieved this groundbreaking record when it debuted at the top of
the MENA Chart, which was launched by the International Federation of the Phonographic
Industry on November 29, 2022. The chart covers countries in the Middle East
and North Africa, and it represents the first-ever official chart in the
region.
Rema’s achievement was significant, as it not only marked
his entry into the Guinness World Book of Records but also recognized him as
the first artist to secure a number 1 hit on the MENA Chart. This achievement
cements Rema’s place as one of Nigeria’s most promising and accomplished music
stars.
