Buga is local league
Calm down is Chanpions league

COMPAQ:
Selena Gomez helped Calm Down to blow and get more reach than Buga.

Buga seems to have been more localized to Nigeria and Africa, while Calm Down went more global.

I was in Atlanta a few weeks back and Calm Down was played like 10 times in one day on Power FM 96.1

The only annoying part of it was they kept announcing it as Selena Gomez featuring Rema.

Please stop speaking out of shear ignorance. Calm down had over 150m views long before Selena Gomez jumped on the board to do a remix. Calm down is international while buga is local but both are still wins

Buga by a mile...

SPAMBOX7:
Calm down of course. Outside Africa who listens to Buga again

Shey na only Africa go world cup?

Local?
But KD was summoned to perform same song on the biggest global event? Nawa for una

Rahkman:
Check their views on youtube then judge by urself,calm down has 334 million views the biggest by any nigerian so far while buga is in 115 million views.....you should compare last last with calm down not buga....buga na local champion

Wrong sir. CKay "Love Nwantiti" has over 350m views on youtube and is currently the biggest by a Nigerian artiste but Calm down will soon break the record. I see calm down being the first Nigerian song to get 1bn views in a few years

Calm down was released in 2021 while buga 2022.

Buga earn KD the opportunity to perform in the biggest global event.

After begging to be allowed to perform? Several artiste that we dont know performed at the WC so it isnt even a debate.

As it stand, when it comes to streaming, the biggest artistes are (not in any order) Ckay, Wizkid, Burnaboy, Rema, Davido, ...............then you can add KD

Athemisia:

Calm down was released in 2021 while buga 2022.

Buga earn KD the opportunity to perform in the biggest global event.

Oga, stop spreading false information. Calm down came out 11 months ago (Feb 2022)

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.

Here's the proof

So many ignorant people on this thread but not to worry, I have the time today to sensitize all

TheOgaBoss:
if the music was not already a hit so u think u can get such an artist to feature in it?

Don't mind them they just talk without thinking things through.

They think Selena Gomez will just do a remix if the song wasn't globally popular

Amayabor1:


Who ask you which one sweet pass? Na so una dey fail exam? Moreover, buga sweet pass to you. Calm down sweet pass to me.

But if you wan check the streaming records of both songs, calm down is a bigger song than buga. That you didn't know about Calm down before Obama mention am nor mean say the song is not a big song. Na because the song huge na im make obama mention am. Go ask Obama if he know any song called buga.

senorita calm down.

Shikini:


You operate in the local league obviously

international listener well down

Amayabor1:
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

Gbam!!

Most don't even know that Ckay Love Nwantiti is a global hit on a platinum level

Sweetvie:
Then you simply do not exist

I live in trenches, I am not homeless

Amayabor1:


What is this one saying? Calm down was already hugely successful before the collabo. Infact, it was the huge success of the original song that made selena gomez to jump on the remix.

Most dont know, they think Selena just jumped in on a remix just like that

ebufa:



Rubbish ...calm down had over 100 million views on YouTube b4 the remix!

About 150m to be precise. I know because I am a fan of the song

saajus:
This is a bad comparison. Buga is more popular in Africa. Calm down is a global hit. I think Calm Down should be compared with songs like "last last", "Essense", or "love nwantiti"

Exactly...Even Rush by Ayar star is global than buga

Inhuman69:


Una too dey type rubbish for this nairaland
If na twitter you type this rubbish you for done delete your account since

Lol

TheOgaBoss:

There are numerous naija artist that did collabo with usa artist ...it's nothing new if Selena was not featured it won't get the views it got simple

TheKingIsHere:


Here's the proof

official music video is different from the song,the screenshot you posted is showing music video anyways

I think Buga is since it cuts across Nigerians of all time and ethics.

UrPapa:
Maybe just me but both songs are just there. Nothing special

I tell you very whack and no message for the future youth

Calm down is wild!

Nowhere in the world that song has not gotten to

Different translations in different countries exist

Song is bound for a Grammy

DesChyko:

You are right! But when it comes to worldwide, calm down rules the airwaves!

Exactly, I have seen calm down in spanish, italian, arabic, indian, polish etc. It's crazy

But i think Essence or last last will win the grammy (I might be wrong)

Kingcalls:
Haba ...na buga na... Buga na biggest song this year na

Which year?

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.

You can't even spell his name correctly.

At least you got the message. That's the most important thing! Lol
