In a remarkable milestone for Nigerian music, Rema‘s inaugural album ‘Raves & Roses’ has clinched the prestigious diamond certification from SNEP, France’s official music chart organization.
This accolade arrives two years following the album’s initial release and underscores its enduring popularity and widespread acclaim.
The announcement came through a celebratory post on SNEP’s official Instagram account on March 25, 2023, confirming that ‘Raves & Roses’ has surpassed the impressive milestone of 500,000 units sold.
Originally unveiled to the world in March 2022, ‘Raves & Roses’ captivated audiences with its eclectic blend of sounds and captivating melodies. The album’s journey to diamond status was paved by the success of its pre-released singles, including the chart-topping tracks ‘Soundgasm’ and ‘Calm Down’.
By attaining diamond certification from SNEP, ‘Raves & Roses’ etches its name in history as one of the highest-certified Nigerian albums in France, following in the footsteps of Burna Boy‘s acclaimed ‘African Giant‘, which also achieved this esteemed recognition.
Rema‘s achievement not only highlights his remarkable talent and artistic prowess but also underscores the global appeal and influence of Nigerian music on the international stage.
