Thanks also to the team at my label for their support.” - Rema on the IFPI websiteīorn Divine Ikubor, from the get-go Rema has changed the face of the young MENA music scene: a vibrant world that lives on social media, and that mixes the traditional with the innovative in a bubbly research for creative change and trending sounds. I am so happy that you are enjoying the song and very proud to be the first artist to reach #1.
“I’d like to thank all of my fans across the region who streamed 'Calm Down' and helped it to become the first ever Official MENA Chart #1! Rema, who is only 23 but certainly not new to success, was excited to hear the news. The platform also allows users to follow artists and record labels, to keep up with their favourite names as well as with the most recent trends. Moreover, the regional chart keeps track of all the major streaming platforms at all times: from YouTube to Deezer, Spotify and Apple Music, the service aims to be as inclusive as possible. The markets monitored by the platform are Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. The recently launched Official MENA chart is a regional platform where “music fans will be able to celebrate the top streaming tracks on a weekly basis with the regional top 20 tracks.”Īnnounced every Thursday, the weekly Top 20 collects data from 13 MENA countries, covering a population of more than 300 million people combined. On 29 November 2022, the IFPI (Federation of the Phonographic Industry) announced that the track was the first ever to top the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) music streaming chart. In 2023, the remix featuring Selena earned a nomination at the Global Awards as Best Social Trended Song. The hit bagged several nominations and steadily placed at the top of international charts, reaching Top 3 in Belgium, France, Portugal and Netherlands (amidst other countries). The hit – the second lead single of Rema’s debut album Rave & Roses – talks about the singer’s quest for love.Īt a party, the singer meets a girl in a yellow dress that stands out from the others and decides to try to get closer to her.
