Afrobeats sensation Rema has added to his impressive accolades by winning multiple awards at the 2024 ASCAP London Music Awards for his hit song "Calm Down."

Rema’s “Calm Down” is now the most-streamed Afrobeats song in the US.

The music monitoring platform, Chart Data, said on X that the song has become “the first Afrobeats song in history to earn over one billion on-demand streams in the US”.

Last year, Chart Data had already described “Calm Down” as the most successful African song of all time.

The song was released in February 2022, as a single off Rave and Roses, Rema’s debut album.
