Popular singer, Divine Ikubor, a.k.a Rema, has made history
as the first Nigerian to enter the top 5 of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart as
lead artist.
Although Wizkid and Tems previously topped the chart with
Drake’s ‘One Dance’ and Future’s ‘Wait 4 U’ respectively, they were credited as
featured artists.
On May 8, 2023, Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ remix with American
superstar, Selena Gomez peaked at No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making him
the first Nigerian to record a top 5 song as lead act.
The song also tied Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ as the longest charting African song in the history of the chart with 35 weeks each.
Similarly, Rema has recorded another milestone as his hit
song ‘Calm Down’ peaked No. 1 on the Canadian Billboard Hot 100, making him the
first Nigerian to top the chart as lead artist.
Recall that Rema recently entered into
the Guinness World Record book.
He was recognised for securing the first number 1 hit, ‘Calm
Down’ on the world’s first regional streaming chart and first-ever official
chart in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
