Afrobeats sensation Rema has reached another historic milestone as his global hit Calm Down is now officially certified 4× Platinum in New Zealand, making it the highest-certified Nigerian song in the country to date.
The certification, awarded by Recorded Music NZ, signifies over 120,000 units sold in the region. Originally released in 2022, Calm Down gained massive international acclaim and was further propelled by the remix featuring American pop star Selena Gomez. The track has since become one of the most streamed and charted Afrobeats songs globally.
This latest achievement highlights the continued global dominance of Calm Down and reinforces Rema’s position as one of the most successful African artists of his generation. The record-breaking success also shows Afrobeats’ growing influence in non-traditional markets like New Zealand.
As the accolades keep coming, Calm Down remains a landmark moment for African music on the global stage.
