As per streaming records, Calm down nor be buga mate.

Buga is a local/Africa hit. Calm down is a worldwide/global hit. Comparing Calm down to buga doesn't make sense. Buga can't reach calm down level.

The actual comparison should have been between Rema's Calm down and Ckay's love nwantiti

wizkid Essence, Rema Calm down, Ckay love nwantiti, Burna last last ...are the four biggest Nigerian songs so far.

Shout out to Fireboy ft Ed Sheeran collabo

Ask ursef u think well, u no fit use person wey dey 3 record label Marvin, universal and jonzing, u wan use there advertising strategies compare with Kizz wey be one man, if they push that Buga song the same way them push calm down I mean with the same funding, calm down no fit stand for Buga side I rest my case

Oga nor dey talk wetin u nor know. Good songs sells itself especially when it comes from an already established artist.

lol dey whine ursef, why did 90% of artists find it hard to get big break again after leaving a big record label, u wan talk se them no sabi sing better song again dey whine ursef there, it because they can’t spend the kind money the label has been spending for promotion without considering how much will be left in there account, that why u now see them under until they just get lucky with one song that doesn’t need promo after years of dropping songs back to back and still go back immediately that song fade cause they can’t spend money for promo for the new song wey dem drop after that one

If what you are saying is anything to go by then every song Rema drops was supposed to blow. Guy songs be like playing bet9ja when God remember u, even though say you enter booth begin shout e go become hit

Yes when God remember person nothing is impossible that’s a fact, so are u now saying people that leave there record label and them no make wave again mean say God no remember them again, music doesn’t work that way bro, go YouTube and search don jazzy moments of truth interview, he said there are some songs dey that once the artist finish for studio them don know se na little promo this song go need before e blow, while some them go need to do enough promo before e go blow wella and why some them go need full force of promo for it to go wella and he state that with this category of songs doesn’t mean it not sweet ooo but na just moment or atmosphere the people will be for it to be acceptable that why some will need more, so that why structures are put in place until u become an household name like them Davido and wiz kid that no matter what song they drop there fanbase is enough to push the song to whatever categories the song they release at that particular time fit in that category I mentioned above

Please remove Wizkid from that list. Wizkid's essence is not in the league of Rema's Calm down and Ckay's love nwantiti. Only Burna's last last come close.

I totally agree with but u see this two songs we are talking about? In my opinion both went through the same promo processes which are (i) drop a song (ii) upload it on streaming platforms (iii) shoot n upload the video on YouTube (iv) talk about it on social medias then the rest of the promo is continued by the fans. That calm down is an international success was because of how far remas buzz was growing on the international stage. Regardless of the label behind him. And Buga also was an international success so I don't understand what the comparism is about. At the end of the day, it all boils down to our personal opinions about the two songs

frankson1:



It's 'Buga' until Governors start dancing 'calm down'

Obama is dancing to calm down and you're bragging with gov. Adeleke?

IMPARTIAL:


Yes, Buga is everywhere in Nigeria and Africa.

Prove that Calm Down is global. Pls, don't mention that video that suggested Calm Down was played in a Qatar stadium. It was a social media creation. The song was added to the video while the actual sound from the video was mooted.

Do you still need more evidence?

And by the way calm down was played many times at the world cup in Qatar, there is one edited video but there are many other real ones of Calm down being played at the world cup. You can see some them via these links

It's not only Adeleke dancing to Buga.

Obama listed calm down among his best songs last year. Use Google.

I know he listed. We're talking about "DANCING" here

So which songs are you expecting him to be dancing to apart from his best songs of the year?

Amayabor1:

Essence is the highest charting Nigerian song ever.
That song made the Top10 Billboard Hot 100.
No Nigerian song has come close

Guy, leave me I dey watch match

Ckay's love Nwantiti was the No. 1 Shazamed song worldwide. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Global (or World) Chart.

Rema's calm down remix with Selena Gomez was number 1 on billboard global Excl. US chart and peaked at number 3 on the billboard global 200.

Streaming on all platforms nkor? Essense doesn't come close to Love Nwantiti and Calm down. For example, on YouTube, Rema's calm down is no 9 on global Top music video (the remix is on number 5). Global music video!!!


Baba, i don't want to continue to mention the records Calm down and Love Nwantiti holds that Essense can't reach.

lol.
You really don't know how billboard works.
Billboard Hot 100 is main chart..
Not global or Shazam...
Go get some knowledge about billboard first before arguing

Lol. Billboard hot 100 is the main chart because your fav made a mark there? Lol

You are the one who really need to have a knowledge on billboard charts as this your comment shows you have no knowledge whatsoever.

https://www.billboard.com/charts/


Back to the main point; Ckay's Nwantiti and Rema's calm down beats Essense in all areas used to asssess a song's success.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Rema is really lucky to be under Don Baba jay. If not his career would have plummet!

But Ruga is far better than Rema.

no wonder ur village people still dey follow you up and down with broom
how you go dey compare ruga and rema

Acidosis:
Haba... Calm down is a global "pandemic"
Buga is too domestic, hijacked by political crooks.

Political crooks

🔥It's a banger...a new one
