Bad Bunny is the most listened to artist of 2020 in the world on Spotify, the
most popular
streaming
platform
.
The Puerto Rican singer, only 26 years old, who has released three albums in the last nine months, also tops the list in Spain.
In total, there are 8,300 million listeners that the urban artist has achieved, as published in his annual report Spotify.
Melanie Parejo, a spokeswoman for the company in southern Europe, defines the list as "historic due to the importance of Latin music."
“Never before has so much music in Spanish been consumed.
It seems that those times when in Spain we had to learn songs in English have been long gone;
now everyone sings in Spanish, "jokes Parejo in a statement on Zoom.
Bad Bunny embarks on a 'last' journey
The year of Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny's reggaeton culminates his plan to dominate world pop
The third place worldwide is occupied by another Latino, the Colombian J. Balvin.
Among them, in second place, the Canadian Drake.
Last year the top three were artists who speak English: Post Malone, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande.
“It is a trend that was seen coming and now it has crystallized: music in Spanish is stronger than ever.
Bad Bunny has released three albums, not exactly short ones, and all of them have broken listening records ”, Parejo points out.
If the Puerto Rican is the most listened to artist, in terms of songs, The Weeknd wins, with Blinding Lights.
The Canadian musician complained about "tongo" a few days ago, when he was excluded from nominations for the Grammy Awards.
The list of the most listened to in Spain is dominated by Puerto Rico.
Up to four singers were born there: Bad Bunny (position one), Anuel AA (number 2).
Ozuna (4) and Myke Towers (5).
The third is J. Balvin.
As for songs, in Spain the one that has been liked the most has been
Tusa
, by the Colombian Karol G, in which the singer from Trinidad and Tobago Nicki Minaj collaborates.
It is striking that Spanish pop and rock stars do not appear among the top positions.
Neither Bunbury nor Alejandro Sanz nor Vetusta Morla nor Dani Martín.
“I think that artists like, for example, Pablo Alborán, have followers that are more physical format than streaming,” Parejo points out.
