Rauw Alejandro

In 2017, Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee released Despacito and it became the most-streamed song during the course of 6 months. The single a mix of reggaeton, pop and rock did not just bring interest to reggaeton, but also drew interest to Latin music generally. In 2015 there were two mostly Spanish-language songs on Billboard's Top 100 and in 2016 there were four. In the midst of Despacito's fame in the year 2017 there were 19 mainly Spanish tracks which made it into the top 100. And in 2020 there were 41. Justin Bieber's bilingual remix Despacito was released in the year. After that, some of the most famous artists began collaborating with reggaeton performers. Drake collaborated with Bad Bunny for MIA (2018), and Madonna was a part of Maluma in the creation of Medellin. In 2020, a few Reggaeton performers were expressing displeasure about the direction of their genre to the mainstream. But a newer generation like Rauw Alejandro was keen to keep the trend going. He used elements from other types of music and electronic.
