ALL THE WAY UP

"Calm Down" by Rema with Selena Gomez (Mavin/Virgin/Interscope) has set a new Mediabase Top 40 record; as of 10/22, the song will have spent 50 weeks on the chart—a longer run than any other song since the Top 40 chart was first published.

The triple-platinum track has amassed nearly 3b global streams since its August 2022 release, making it the most-streamed Afrobeats song of all time. Meanwhile, the "Calm Down" video, helpfully appended below, is inching toward 690m views.
