Rema's 'HEIS' debuts on Billboard World Albums Chart

This achievement marks a notable milestone for the Nigerian artist, who now has two albums on the chart simultaneously. The album “HEIS,” released on July 11, 2024, follows the success of his debut album Rave & Roses, which continues to hold its place on the charts, currently sitting at #10.

This simultaneous presence of both albums underscores Rema’s rising popularity and the increasing acceptance of Afrobeats in mainstream music markets. Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, has been a prominent figure in the Afrobeats genre, with his previous work, particularly the hit single Calm Down, achieving significant commercial success. The track not only topped various charts but also received multiple accolades, solidifying Rema’s status as a leading artist in the genre.
