Rauw Alejandro

Despacito by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi The song, as well as Daddy Yankee became the song that was streamed the most within less than six months. Mixing Reggaeton and pop was released in 2017 by singer from Puerto Rico Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. It was the top-streamed song at the period within a span of six months. In 2015 there were only two predominantly Spanish-speaking songs in Billboard's Top 100 and in 2016 there were four. In the midst of Despacito's fame in 2017 there were 19 mostly Spanish tracks which made it into the Top 100. And in 2020 the number was 41. Following the time that Justin Bieber released his bilingual remix of Despacito in 2017, the most well-known artists began to join forces with reggaeton artists. Drake and Bad Bunny collaborated on MIA (2018) and Madonna joined forces with Maluma for Medellin 2019, which was released in 2019. In 2020, a few Reggaeton artists were complaining about the trend of their genre to the mainstream. But a newer generation, such as Rauw Alejandro was keen to maintain the development. The genre often incorporated electronic dance, as well as other styles.
