Rauw Alejandro
In 2017 Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi as well as Daddy Yankee released Despacito and it became the most-streamed song that time, within just 6 months. The song was a mix of reggaeton and pop, which not only brought new attention to reggaeton music, but also an increase in interest in Latin music. The Billboard Top 100 featured two songs which were Spanish most of the time, and 4 more songs in the year 2016. At the height of Despacito's popularity the track was among 19 that mostly in Spanish appeared on the Top 100. By 2020 it will be 41 songs in this category. In the wake of Justin Bieber released his bilingual remix of Despacito in 2017, many popular artists began collaborating with reggaeton musicians. Drake and Bad Bunny collaborated for the track MIA MIA (2018) as did Madonna and Maluma on Medellin, Madonna and Maluma joined forces on Medellin 2019, which was released in 2019. A few performers of reggaeton lamented the trend towards popular music by 2020. Yet a new group, Rauw alejandro, was seeking to make a change. His style often included elements of electronic dance music as well as other styles.
