Rave & Roses is now the second longest-charting Nigerian album the US Billboard 200
Not many debut albums are like Rave & Roses. It has top-notch quality, insane replay value, and massive commercial success. Over the course of a year and a half since its release, it has skyrocketed Rema from a regular newbie to a force to be reckoned with in the Afrobeats scene, breaking records never heard of before.
The album has surpassed Wizkid’s ‘Made in Lagos’ as the second longest-charting album ever by a Nigerian act on the US Billboard 200. It debuted on the charts in January of this year at #81 and has spent 23 weeks on the charts, currently holding the #103 spot.
