ngl i had never heard of Bad Bunny before opening this thread. But then i don't listen to the viral list or top hits lists on spotify so. I listen to my discover weekly and other curated stuff if i wanna discover new shit.

Most others i knew of but don't really listen to except folklore was very good.

Bruh if you dont know who Bad Bunny is there is a 98% chance you are white XD

Its always cool to see how Puerto Rican talent keep getting these accolades despite it being such a tiny mark on the map lol.

I've been listening to a lot of raggaeton and latin music this year. Amazing to see Bad Bunny at the top, suprised J Balvin isn't to be seen.

Listening to Bad Bunny now I'm beginning to understand why none of the services I use have recommended his work. It sounds like nothing I've ever listened to before. But then again, it's not so obvious how these recommendations occur. I started listening to Travis Scott because I liked the score for Tenet for instance.

Not a fan of Weeknd but that song is about as ubiquitous as you get in today's splintered listening world. Hear that one everywhere.

Good on Taylor with a more low-key album launch and an album without the obvious radio hits and still being up there with all the cool new names.

Cool to see Dua up there as well.

Overall too many mopy dudes on these lists but some great names as well.

Seeing how Bad Bunny apperantly is of the latin /reggaeton genre it's not weird i have never heard of him, it's genres i don't really enjoy listening to or seek out. Sometimes one of those songs break into mainstream radio in Sweden and i don't think i have ever liked any of em lol.

Check him out. He's definitely on a hip hop wave too. Check out 100XPRE, the album

I've never heard of "Bad Bunny" until this thread, but I'm sure I must've heard his music without knowing it, because all five of his most popular songs on Spotify have that same damn repetitious beat that I hear being blasted from cars non-stop.

Now I can call it the "Bad Bunny beat" and go back to wondering what life was like before I ever heard it.

It's called trap and isn't exclusive to him. hell my parents who are super white like the laid back style of trap especially since it's a lot less intrusive and plays great as background music

Great to see Bad Bunny up top!

I know all 10 of the top songs, although I wish i knew only 9 of them since Dance Monkey is complete garbage.

Nice, I've been getting into Dua lately, glad to see she hit two of the charts. Bad Bunny still doesn't do it for me but I recognize the talent.

I'll cop to not knowing a lot of these because of the same old white guy thing but I always love these charts because it's a chance to break out of that bubble. I just learned that I liked J Balvin, for instance. This stuff may not click with you but it's worth a shot to broaden your tastes.

Listening to Dua Lipa legitamatly feels like I'm taking Mubatu crazy pills.

I still understand how people haven't recognised that her songs all sound like low-rent S Club 7 remixes. Talented singer but no way in hell did she 'Reinvent Disco'.

Dance Monkey being a Top 2 songs sums up 2020. What a ville song.
At least Dua Lipa is doing well. She got herself a new fan after Future Nostalgia. Such a good album.

Multiple reviews said that she is simultaneously a throwback to 90s pop mixed in with modern music. Plus it's implied in the title of the album.

So I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Well I am more familiar with the top artists than I would have thought. No idea who Bad Bunny is though and I still couldn't tell you a Travis Scott song if you pointed a gun to my head.

Now I feel old. From most artists, I don't even know a song. Guess it's time to, once more, move out of my metal bubble and listen to what the young folks like nowadays.

How does Dua have a top 10 album, but isn't top 10 for artists? She is slaying it this year.

Mia, RITMO, and Tusa by Karol G are the only Spanish language songs that get heavily played on English radio in Boston but you are pretty much guaranteed to hear one of them any time you get in the car. Hopefully Maluma and The Weeknd can bump one of those.

Throwing my hat in the "Man, I'm old" circle. I know half the top 10, only 2 in the top 5. I don't know if I've even seen those names before, much less heard any of their music. Considering how much I was in to music, this is surprising!

I've been in the mood for something new (I'm 40, and listen to acoustic stuff mostly), Ill try some of this out, see what you young folk are getting funky to.

I don't really feel old because the music I listen to was never "top of the charts" popular, but there is a lot of current popular music of all sorts outside of top 10 artists that you might listen to.

I think I'm officially out of touch. I think The Weeknd is the only artist on the list I paid any attention to this year.

I'm kinda surprised Drake charting that high worldwide and at No 1 in the UK without releasing a new album.

Somehow Dua Lipa didn't make top 5 in the UK.

Whilst implying in most interview that hastag 'she has reinvented disco'. I mean great, I'm not a retro-revivalist nor am I interested in 90's pop which was disposable trash, I'm old enough to remember some of it.

Yeah I'm definitely out of touch with that top 10 but I'm also listening to lots of new young bands in the indie/college radio space, heck some of the artists I like just graduated college this year.

He was a total unknown a few years back unless you were Latino. My sister went to a bunch of his concerts in tiny concert halls in Orlando for, like, 20 bucks back in 2017 or so. Now they'd be in massive stadiums.

I'd heard of Bad Bunny but had no idea he was this big
Virtually non existent in the UK
