The longest-running African song to top the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart was held by Wizkid until high-flying Nigerian artist Divine Ikubor, alias Rema, shattered that record.
This week, Rema and Selena Gomez’s popular single, “Calm Down,” broke the previous record set by Wizkid and Tems’ 2020 single, “Essence,” which stayed at No. 1 for 17 weeks.
