1. Bad Bunny
At #1 was Bad Bunny who has dominated the charts with his music. He is one of the most listened-to artists on Spotify Wrapped for 2024 – number 1 on Top 10 Latino Artists! Not only this, he also secured a spot number 3 among the most streamed artists globally.
This is quite the success that he has accumulated in the year 2024. He has nearly 65 million followers and continues to lead the new generation of reggaeton music.
His urban music style also incorporates other genres including rock, punk, and soul, making him a favorite of Latin Americans. He is the face of many brands and has been named one of the best-dressed men in the world –and I couldn’t agree more.
What is Reggaeton Music?Reggaeton is a popular music genre from Panama in the late 1980s that became popular in the 1990s and 2000s.It is a word derived from Spanish that means a combination of reggae (a unique form of rock music that combines traditional Jamaican music, jazz, and Motown) and dancehall to create a new and unique sound. This has elements of rock and soul music performed at moderate tempos with an accent on the offbeat.This was called reggae en Español (Spanish Reggae), later influenced by hip-hop too and thus renamed reggaeton in Puerto Rico.Some top songs from the reggaeton genre we all know:Gasolina –By Daddy YankeeDespacito –By Luis FonsiTQG –By Shakira |
2. Peso Pluma
Peso Pluma scores the spot at #2 as the most-streamed Latin artist on Spotify globally. His albums Exodo and Genesis dominated the charts, ranking in the Top 5 Global Latin Albums. There is also an addition to the fame. Peso Pluma and Karol G’s collaboration on QLONA, went on to become the year’s most-played tracks.
This success also highlights the growth of Música Mexicana, which is now the most streamed Latin genre in the U.S., reigning in 26 states and 3rd most popular Latin genre worldwide. He has an amazing stage persona and his concerts are a vibe.
I love to hear his music whenever I’m feeling down and need some pump-up music that I can vibe to after getting home from a long day at work.
Plus, my internet plan with Optimum never lets me down in those moments with its reliable and seamless speed. On a side note, it has a great Optimum servicio al cliente, in both English and Spanish, through which I can upgrade the internet plan smoothly.
3. Feid
Our #3 on the list is Feid. He is known to his fans as Ferxxo and has reached an incredible new height this year, landing as the 10th most streamed artist globally on Spotify. His album Ferxxocalipsis brought new and fresh energy with urban music and hits like Luna and Nina Bonita topping the playlists.
His music has a unique blend of fine vocals and a mix of reggaeton rhythms. His music hosts genuine lyrics and made Feid one of the most streamed among the Latin artists of 2024 – let’s see what he brings in the next year.
4. Karol G
Ahh! When it comes to Karol G, I’ve much to say, considering she’s a personal favorite. She was #4 on the list with a reigning stream as the most-listened female Latin artist consecutively for the fifth year. Her album Mañana Será Bonito topped the Global Latin albums list and some became hits from it like Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido and QLONA (In collaboration with Peso Pluma).
