After three consecutive years of his reign, Taylor Swift managed to dethrone Bad Bunny as the most-streamed artist on Spotify, the world’s largest audio streaming platform, but not in Spain, where the Puerto Rican is still clinging on to the No. 1 spot.
The silver medal here belongs to Quevedo, not him. Quevedo thus became the most listened to Spanish artist not only in his own country, but also in the rest of the world. The Swedish company reported this Wednesday.
It is not surprising that three of his songs are among the most successful, especially ‘Playa del Inglés’, which is the most played in 2023, and ‘Columbia’, which ranks third after ‘Yandel 150’. By Yandel and Feid. In eighth place is ‘Punto G’, another part of his writing.
“I’m so grateful to the people who listen to me and like my music and put it out there.”. “It’s been a busy year with my first album and many collaborations that have allowed me to have a lot of fun making music,” Quevedo said in statements compiled by Spotify.
The list of Spain’s most successful songs is completed as follows: in fourth place is ‘El Merengue’, sung by Marshmello with Manuel Turizo; In fifth place is Manuel Turizo’s ‘La Bachata’; ‘Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Volume 53′ is Bizarrap’s sixth collaboration with Shakira; Myke Towers’ ‘Lala’ is seventh; “Kiss” by Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro is eighth; and in tenth place is ‘Nochentera’ by Vicco.
The fact that Taylor Swift is not even among the ten most-reproduced artists on a list dominated by Latin urban music figures is a symbol of this country’s uniqueness to its listeners. In this order, they are: Feid, Myke Towers, Rauw Alejandro, Anuel AA, Mora, Eladio Carrión, Karol G and Bizarrap.
If the reproduction data of the most successful female artists in the country is separated, Swift ranks fifth, behind the aforementioned Karol G (first), Shakira (second), Rosalía (third) and Aitana (fourth).

The results of these Spotify Spain charts are very different from the global hits where Swift reigns with 26,000 million total streams, ahead of Puerto Rican Bad Bunny.
It should also be noted that the author of “Midnights” was selected as the “Artist of the Year” in 2023 by another important audio platform such as Apple Music, after 65 of his songs managed to reach the global “Top” list. 100′, more than any other figure in music.
For Spotify, the honors are complete: Canada’s The Weeknd is in third place; In fourth place is his compatriot Drake and, more interestingly, in fifth place, the Mexican Featherweight is emerging as one of the main bastions of the rise of regional Mexican music.
This is not the only victory of this genre, because the song ‘She Baila Sola’, performed by the artist with the compatriots of Eslabón Armadolu, is the fifth most listened to song of the year worldwide.
The classification, which started with Miley Cyrus’s song ‘Flowers’ (which has reached 1.6 billion views since its release in January this year), is completed with American Sza’s ‘Kill Bill’ and British Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’. (It sneaks into this classification for the second time after becoming the most-streamed song of 2022), and South Korean and former BTS member Jung Kook’s “Seven” comes in at number four.
