His album, “Rave & Roses,” has now equaled the record set by Wizkid‘s “Made in Lagos” album, becoming the second-longest-charting album by a Nigerian act on the Billboard 200. Both albums have spent an impressive 22 weeks on the chart.
This achievement is a testament to Rema‘s rising popularity and the global recognition he has garnered for his exceptional music. It signifies his growing impact on the international music scene and demonstrates the growing prominence of Nigerian artists in the global music industry.
The previous record holder was the legendary King Sunny Ade with his iconic album “Juju Music,” which spent an incredible 29 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. While Rema and Wizkid‘s albums are still a few weeks away from surpassing that record, their presence among the top charting Nigerian acts is undoubtedly a remarkable accomplishment.
