Rema’s highly anticipated second album, "HEIS," has made a spectacular debut on Spotify Nigeria, setting a new record for the biggest opening day streams in 2024. Released on July 11, 2024, the 11-track album amassed an impressive 2.71 million streams, surpassing the previous record held by Olamide’s "Ikigai," which garnered 1.86 million streams.
This milestone adds to Rema’s string of successes in the music industry. Earlier in the year, his single “Benin Boys” featuring Shallipopi set the record for the biggest opening day streams for a song on Spotify Nigeria in 2024.
While “HEIS” holds the third position in terms of opening day streams for an album on the platform, it trails behind Burna Boy’s "I Told Them" with 2.93 million streams and Davido’s "Timeless," which leads with a remarkable 4.91 million streams.
Rema's achievements continue to solidify his position as a leading artist in the Nigerian music scene, following previous hits and consistent chart-topping performances.
