They say every milestone has a story. “Soundgasm” just passed 200 million streams on Spotify, a number that carries weight on its own. It marks another tick in Rema’s journey of shaping a generation’s sound.
How the Track Began
Rema released “Soundgasm” back in June 2021 as the lead single from Rave & Roses. Co-produced with London, Santi, and Dro, it introduced listeners to his lush hybrid of Afrobeats, his own Afro-rave signature, and a vibe that fit both late-night drives and Radars, where discovery happens. It quietly spread track by track, playlist by playlist, and now, it’s officially surpassed the century mark.
Why Fans Keep Returning
Numbers help measure, but context gives meaning. “Soundgasm” isn’t his biggest hit. “Calm Down” is, and yet it stands on its own as a cult favorite, one that fans return to for its intricate beat layering and smooth, intuitive cadence. According to streaming data, it ranks among his most-played solo tracks with over 200 million streams reported on some platforms, showing how continued traction turns early favorites into lasting icons.
The Path to 200 Million
This milestone also reflects how listeners shape success. “Soundgasm” crossed the line on the strength of steady plays, added to car rides, late-night playlists, reels, and everyday moments. Its momentum wasn’t sudden; it built gradually and consistently.
Now, “Soundgasm” stands alongside four other tracks where Rema’s voice has surpassed 200 million Spotify streams:
- “Calm Down (with Selena Gomez)” — passed 1 billion by September 2023.
- “Calm Down” (original) — crossed 200 million before that point, now past 600M.
- “BUBALU” with Feid and Young Miko — moved past 200 million in early January 2025.
- “Soweto – Sped Up” with Victony, Don Toliver & Tempoe — cleared 200 million in July 2025.
- “Soundgasm” itself — topped 200 million in September 2025.
What does that mean for Rema’s place in music right now? It confirms longevity. Not just in headlines or chart bursts, but in moments, the ones listeners return to when the night feels like “Soundgasm.”
