Divine Ikubor, a Nigerian music sensation who goes by the stage name Rema, has achieved a remarkable feat by being listed in the Guinness World Book of Records.
His chart-topping track, ‘Calm Down‘, has earned the distinction of being the first-ever No.1 Hit on The Official MENA Chart, which is the world’s inaugural regional streaming chart.
This was made known in a post shared on the singer’s statistics Twitter account on Saturday.
The statement 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’ debuted at No. 1 when the MENA Chart was launched by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry on November 29, 2022.
Rema was recognised for securing the first number 1 hit on the world’s first regional streaming chart and first-ever official chart in the Middle East and North Africa.
