"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.
In related news, we find that simply repeating the title of this song works wonders on our overtaxed limbic systems.
