“Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez holds the record for the most weeks on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, having added an incredible 64 weeks to the poll as of January 20.

Released on November 5, 2022, through Jonzing World/Mavin/SMG Music/Virgin/Interscope Records, the song was Rema’s first leader on the chart and Gomez’s fourth. It spent five weeks at No. 1 in May and July of last year. It is ranked 12th on the most recent list.

In terms of the longest Pop Airplay stay, “Calm Down” surpasses Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (63 weeks, 2022-23) tie. “Calm Down” also has the record for the most weeks in the Pop Airplay top 10 (45), which spans the period from March 11, 2023, to January 13.

The Nigerian singer Rema released the original version of “Calm Down” as a single off his first solo album, Rave & Roses, in February 2022. August saw the release of the Gomez remix, and September saw the release of the official video for that version.

From September 2022 to October 2023, “Calm Down” held the top spot on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for 58 weeks, which is the longest reign since the ranking’s inception in 2022. “Calm Down” debuted at No. 3 on the all-genre, multimetric Billboard Hot 100 in June of last year, marking Gomez’s ninth top 10 and Rema’s first appearance.
