Bad Bunny’s historic success
Since ‘Soy Peor’ made Bad Bunny a household name in 2016, the artist has become a regular feature on multiple charts. Most recently, ‘Ojitos Lindos’ climbed up to number 25 on Billboard’s U.S. Top Songs chart, with ‘Titi Me Pregunto’ sitting at number 4. ‘La Jumpa’ with Arcángel is now at number 81.
Bad Bunny has also peaked at number 1 on the Artist 100 chart. He has so far had 67 songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100. His albums ‘El Último Tour del Mundo’ released in 2020 and last year’s ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ each debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making Bad Bunny the only artist to top the chart with an album entirely in Spanish - twice.
Last month, Bad Bunny became the first Latin artist to win an IFPI Global Award, winning the 2022 Global Album Award for ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’. According to the organization, the album spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, where he also became the first Latin artist to have an album perform so well.
