Rauw Alejandro

Despacito by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, and Daddy Yankee became the song most streamed at the time within less than six months. This mix of reggaeton and pop music has not only brought interest back to this genre but also to Latin music generally. Billboard's Top 100 included four mostly Spanish songs from 2016 as opposed to two in 2015. The popularity of Despacito peaked in 2017. In 2020 there will be 41 primarily Spanish songs are expected to make it into the Top 100. After Justin Bieber released his bilingual remix of Despacito in the year 2017 the most well-known artists began to join forces with reggaeton performers. Drake and Bad Bunny collaborated for the track MIA MIA (2018) as did Madonna and Maluma. Madonna joined forces with Maluma on Medellin 2019, which was released in 2019. In the year 2020, a handful of reggaeton stars were complaining about their genre's shift towards the mainstream. However, a younger generation of performers, including Rauw Alejandro was determined to ensure that reggaeton was evolving. He often incorporated elements from electronic dance music, as well as different styles.
