Latin artists are influencing music on a global scale. According to major platforms like Spotify and TikTok’s end-of-year lists, fan favorites such as Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Yeri Mua are being heard around the world—and we love to see it.
So, shoutout if you’ve been streaming Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito or Yeri Mua’s “TRAKA” and “CHUPON.” Thanks to your support, our favorite Latinas are topping the charts this year. (For the record, Karol G’s “OJOS FERRARI” is a must on my pregame playlists!)
Want to know which Latin artists are thriving on two of the biggest music platforms? Let’s dive into the highlights below.
Latino artists made waves on Spotify’s Most-Streamed Artists Globally list. Puerto Rican icon Bad Bunny secured the No. 3 spot. At the same time, corrido tumbado star Peso Pluma claimed No. 7. Colombian reggaetonero Feid rounded out the list at No. 10. Other top artists included global powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Ariana Grande.
More Latin artists dominated Spotify’s end-of-year rankings.
