2018 Was A Huge Year For Urban Latin Music urban-latin-music-dominated-2018-according-streaming-services

Urban Latin Music Dominated 2018, According To Streaming Services

Facebook Twitter Email
YouTube, Spotify, Pandora and Apple Music have revealed their 2018 top music lists, all of which prominently featured Urban Latin artists, showing the genre's increasing growth
Jennifer Velez
GRAMMYs
Dec 6, 2018 - 2:32 pm

You've heard it a thousand times: Latin urban music is reaching greater audiences in the United States and outside the Spanish-speaking world. In 2018 alone, the genre known as the "Latino Gang," GRAMMY nominee Cardi B, Latin GRAMMY winner J Balvin and Latin GRAMMY nominee Bad Bunny dominated streams and charts with "I Like It."

This year’s Latin GRAMMY Best New Artist Karol G and Latin GRAMMY nominees Ozuna and Nicky Jam also made waves with hip-hop and dembow inspired hits heard everywhere.

To further cement Latin urban’s reign, streaming services YouTube, Pandora, Apple Music and Spotify have all released data that continue to show how the internet is helping the genre carve out a place in the U.S and global music market.

On the global scale, YouTube has released its top most-viewed videos of 2018, with eight of its top 10 being Spanish-language songs. Taking first place is the remix version of Casper Magico, Nio Garcia and Darell's reggaeton breakup song "Te Bote," which also features rap verses by Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny and Ozuna with 1.45 billion views year-to-date, according to Variety.

Meanwhile, Nicky Jam's "X" featuring J Balvin, another reggaeton-infused, hip-shaking track, trails behind "Te Bote" with 1.40 billion views.

This year the list features two more Spanish-language artists than last year. In 2017, six Spanish language songs made the top list with Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" in the No.1 spot.

Music-streaming giant Spotify’s most globally streamed artist is Drake, but Colombian reggaeton artist J Balvin follows close behind at No. 4. Other artists on the global list's top 10 include Ozuna and Bad Bunny at No. 7 and No. 8, respectively. Cardi B, who has had a few collaborations with Latin urban artists like Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Ozuna, is the No. 3 most streamed female artist of the year.

Arguably, Spotify's playlist game, with a recently launched strategy to make global music bigger, makes them the leader in that lane too. Urban Latin music makes an appearance on their top most-followed playlist of the year as the Baila Reggaeton is No. 4.

While not as popular as in other lists, Cardi B, J Balvin and Bad Bunny popped up in Apple Music's top lists, too. "I like It" is No. 6 on the Global 100 list and No. 10. The song was chosen by staff as Song Of The Year. 

READ: Ozuna Is Making Reggaeton Hits That Are Getting Global Attention

Pandora, currently only in the U.S., published a list featuring the top Latin music streams and urban Latin music dominates. "I Like It" holds the No. 1 spot, followed by Nicky Jam and J Balvin's "X," and Ozuna's La Modelo featuring Cardi B at No. 3. "Te Bote."

The growth in urban Latin music presence on digital charts, thanks in large part to streaming, is estimated to continue growing, but we'll have to wait for 2019 to see how that will look like.

KAOS Las Vegas To Feature Sets From J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Ozuna, Deadmau5, Eric Prydz & More In April

Facebook Twitter Email
The soon-to-be-open club inside the Palms has slated a range of artists for shows and longer residencies, including previously announced artists Cardi B, Kaskade and Skrillex

Spring is only a day away and whether or not your locale feels like it yet, the festival lineups, tour announcements and Las Vegas residency reveals have warmer days feeling oh-so-near.

Today, the new KAOS Dayclub & Nightclub inside the redesigned Palms Casino Resort continues to add to the excitement with more artists added for opening weekend (April 4–7) and beyond.

Latin urbano music heavy-hitters J Balvin, Ozuna and Bad Bunny, along with longstanding dance music kings Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz add even more weight to an already stacked event calendar.

Previously announced artists for opening weekend include GRAMMY winners Cardi B, Skrillex and Kaskade, GRAMMY nominee Travis Scott, as well as Oakland, Calif. rapper G-Eazy.

KAOS officially kicks things off by opening their nightclub doors on Thurs., April 4 for the first installment of "F#%*IN' KAOS THURSDAYS" featuring EDM DJ/producer Marshmello. Both he and Kaskade have the most dates of any artist currently on the KAOS calendar, which has talent scheduled well into May. The weekly Thursday evening parties will feature rotating guests, which include Cardi B on April 18 and Bad Bunny on April 25, the only date slated for the Puerto Rican Latin trap star. Fellow Puerto Rican Ozuna also has one show listed, on April 28.

For most artists booked, the term "residency" is being used a bit loosely, with most artists only booked for one to three shows, although it is possible more dates could be added in the TBD slots and into the summer months. Cardi was among the first artists to be revealed with a residency at the new club, but only has two shows lined up, the Thursday party, as well as the previously announced opening weekend performance on Sat., April 6 with Balvin and G-Eazy. Latin GRAMMY winner Balvin has also had just one show added to the schedule, at the nightclub on April 26.

Deadmau5 marks his return to Vegas with dates at KAOS on April 14 and 20, which, as Rolling Stone points out, will be about four years since his 2015 residency at XS in the Wynn. Skrillex is currently set for one date during opening weekend, at night on April 5 with Travis Scott. Longstanding house, techno and laser show king Prydz is slated for three shows: April 13, 26 and May 11. Godfather Of Trance van Buuren also has three dates, May 16 and 17 during EDC Week and the following Sunday, May 26, for a day party.

Speaking of EDC, KAOS, as well as pretty much every club on and off the strip, has special events during the festival, taking place May 17–19 this year with a yet-to-be-dropped lineup. EDC Week always brings in big names in dance music, and is a festival megastar DJs like Deadmau5, Skrillex and van Buuren have played on multiple occasions in years past, so fans are hopeful for more dates from them

Regardless of the length of stay for each artist, it is clear that there are plenty of jams to be had at the new KAOS. The daytime space has a pool and thanks to a retractable dome and will "be the first Vegas megaclub to be built as a year-round venue," according to Las Vegas Weekly. The KAOs calendar reveals the pool will be open daily beginning April 9, operating as a dayclub with a featured artist on Fridays–Sundays, with the nightclub operating Thursdays–Saturdays, as well as some Sundays.

"We are incredibly proud to present the next generation of the Las Vegas nightclub and dayclub experience with programming that transcends so many genres of music," the General Manager of Palms Jon Gray said. "Every performance at KAOS will be unique to each artist with next-level production and unique technology that we cannot wait to share with our guests."

A true Las Vegas club wouldn't be complete without a plethora of VIP and bottle service options; visit the KAOS website for more info on all announced shows and ticket options.

Bad Bunny appeared at the first-ever festival last year and was eager to return to its unique reggaetón/trap vibe. "When we found out how much Bad Bunny loved the festival, and wanted to return," said event co-founder Chris Den Uijl, "we made it a mission to have him be a part of this year's festival." 

Bad Bunny and J Balvin were also GRAMMY nominees this year, nominated along side Cardi B in the Record Of The Year category for "I Like It."

Ahead of the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs this week, GRAMMY.com dives into the records nominated for one of the most anticipated awards this year

At the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs this week, Latin music fans will find out who will take home the coveted Record Of The Year award, which recognizes the artists, producers, recording engineers and mixers and mastering engineers behind some of the biggest records this season. Ahead of the 21st Latin GRAMMY Awards, which air Thursday, Nov. 19, GRAMMY.com dives into the records nominated for one of the most anticipated awards this year.

"China" - Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G Featuring Ozuna & J Balvin

For his latest album, Emmanuel, Anuel AA assembled The Avengers of reggaeton music for the all-star collaboration, "China." Anuel AA, who's also nominated for Best New Artist this year, teamed up with genre pioneer Daddy Yankee, his fiancée Karol G, and superstars J Balvin and Ozuna. Helming the track, producer Marco "Tainy" Masís turned a sample of Shaggy's 2000 smash, "It Wasn't Me," into a reggaeton club anthem. The monster collaboration was a familiar yet refreshing spin on the genre. Anuel AA led this formidable lineup to the top of Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart for multiple weeks.

"Cuando Estés Aquí" - Pablo Alborán

Since his Best New Artist nomination at the 2011 Latin GRAMMYs, Pablo Alborán has remained a constant force at the awards. The Spanish singer has previously been nominated in all four major categories, including five Record Of The Year nominations to date. This year, his heartfelt ballad, "Cuando Estés Aquí" (or "When You Are Here)," which he wrote and produced himself, is up for the award. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit at the start of the year, Alborán released this song as a glimmer of hope for when we can all gather with our loved ones again. All the proceeds from the release went to UNICEF's efforts to help those impacted by the pandemic.

"Vete" - Bad Bunny

On "Vete" (or "Leave"), the most emotional song off his 2020 blockbuster album, YHLQMDLG, Bad Bunny lives up to his persona as reggaeton's resident sad boy. (Puerto Rican duo Súbelo NEO, who Bad Bunny brought into the spotlight on YHLQMDLG, and Hazen produced the song.) The Puerto Rican rapper is known to get in his feelings in his music, and he does so beautifully here. After a relationship has run its course, Bad Bunny lets an old flame know where the door is, ultimately finding power through heartache on this kiss-off anthem.

"Solari Yacumenza" - Bajofondo featuring Cuareim 1080

Bajofondo is the musical band led by legendary Argentine producer Gustavo Santaolalla and Uruguayan musician Juan Campodónico, who are both previous Latin GRAMMY winners. Featuring Montevideo collective Cuareim 1080, "Solari Yacumenza" is notably the only primarily instrumental track competing in the Record Of The Year category this year. Bajofondo's unique blend of electronic and tango music sounds magnificent on this nearly 7-minute jam session. Two countries come together and cut loose in the studio and on the stage.

"Rojo" - J Balvin

On "Rojo" (or "Red"), the most emotional offering off his 2020 Colores album, J Balvin wears his heart on his sleeve as he longs for his lover's touch. The song was produced by the Colombian rapper's longtime collaborator Alejandro "Sky" Ramírez and Taiko, who gets his breakout moment on Colores. Among the tracks on the chromatically themed album, this is the brightest spot where J Balvin flexes his singing abilities in a moving and soaring performance. Counting his feature on Anuel AA's "China," "Rojo" marks J Balvin's second nomination in the Record Of The Year category this year.

"Tutu" - Camilo & Pedro Capó

After stepping away from the industry to write hits for other artists, Camilo returned last year with his breakthrough hit, "Tutu." Producers Richi López, George Noriega and Jon Leone, the rising hitmaker behind Camilo's 2020 album, Por Primera Vez, helped the Colombian singer-songwriter find his groove in the current Latin music landscape. Leone and co. blended his quirky Latin pop sound with a reggaeton heartbeat. Latin GRAMMY winner Pedro Capó's blazing guest verse adds some extra bite to the song, which is an ode to Camilo's wife, Evaluna Montaner. The song later received a co-sign from Colombian superstar Shakira, who reached out to Camilo to jump on a remix.

"Lo Que En Ti Veo" - Kany Garcia & Nahuel Pennisi

Since winning for Best New Artist at the 2008 Latin GRAMMYs, Kany García has won multiple awards at the annual show. The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter is now up for Record Of The Year, her third nomination in this category, for "Lo Que En Ti Veo" (or "What I See In You") with Argentine musician Nahuel Pennisi. Colombian legend and multiple Latin GRAMMY winner Julio Reyes Copello produced the beautiful ballad, which is featured on García's 2020 album, Mesa Para Dos. Piano and Pennisi's soft guitar are the perfect accompaniment to García's delicate yet affectionate lyrics. Alongside Pablo Alborán, García is one of two LGBTQ+ artists up for Record Of The Year this month. She's also the most nominated female artist at this year's Latin GRAMMYs.

"Tusa" - Karol G & Nicki Minaj

Karol G won Best New Artist in a crowded field of 10 contenders at the 2018 Latin GRAMMYs. In the reggaeton music scene that's usually dominated by men, the Colombian artist is leading the way for women. Her girl-power anthem "Tusa" (or "Heartbreak") sees her teaming up with 10-time GRAMMY-nominated rap star Nicki Minaj. Karol G's longtime producer Daniel "Ovy on the Drums" Oviedo made this a regal affair fit for queens, with violins meeting reggaeton beats. As artists outside of the Latin music scene are wanting in on the movement, "Tusa" remains one of the best and most stellar cross-genre team-ups of the year. With "China," "Tusa" marks Karol G's second nomination in the Record Of The Year category this year.

"René" - Residente

Counting his work with the hip-hop group Calle 13, Residente is the most awarded artist in Latin GRAMMYs history, with 25 wins total. (The Puerto Rican rapper has a few GRAMMYs to his name as well.) In 2018, when Residente was experiencing depression and wanted to jump off his hotel balcony, he stopped himself from taking his own life by calling his mom. On the day that followed, he let out his emotions by writing "René," the song titled after his first name. Residente also produced the song himself. Across nearly eight minutes, he reflects on his highs and lows in his life and career, creating one of the most powerful moments in Latin music in 2020.

"Contigo" - Alejandro Sanz

Like Residente, Alejandro Sanz is one of the most awarded artists in Latin GRAMMYs history, counting 24 wins overall. (He's also a four-time GRAMMY winner.) The Spanish singer-songwriter took on a song by a fellow Spanish legend, Joaquín Sabina. Produced by Julio Reyes Copello and Spanish musician Rafa Sardina, Sanz's take on "Contigo" is colored with piano, cinematic strings and bluesy guitar as he breathes new life into Sabina's timeless love song. His tribute tugs on the heartstrings.

The 2020 Latin GRAMMYs will air on Univision on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT). The broadcast will also air on TNT (cable) at 7 p.m. (MEX)/8 p.m. (COL)/10 p.m. (ARG/CHI), and on Televisa on Channel 5.
